Nifty flat, RBI policy in focus; gold & silver hit records
Indian stock markets opened cautiously ahead of the RBI's policy announcement by Governor Sanjay Malhotra. While Sensex slipped, Nifty saw marginal gains. Silver surged to ₹1.51 lakh/kg and gold touched record highs amid global uncertainty. Experts cite safe-haven demand, a weaker dollar, and geopolitical tensions as key drivers, while the rupee continues to face pressure.
