Markets on April 6: Shares traded on the BSE Sensex reversed early losses on Thursday after the Reserve Bank of India kept key policy rates unchanged “to assess the progress made so far” in tackling inflation.

RBI governor Shaktikanta Das cited ‘turmoil in global economy and unprecedented uncertainty in geopolitics’ to maintain policy rates and added that the central bank remained watchful of the outlook and impact of policy measures on the broader economy.

The RBI was widely expected to raise rates by 25 basis points (bps) to take the repo rate to a seven-year high of 6.75%, and then pause for the rest of the year.

Meanwhile, the Nifty 50 ended just shy of 17,600 after a similarly poor start to the day.
