Mumbai: The market benchmark BSE Sensex shed 98 points on Wednesday to close at 32,476.74 points after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cut repo rate by 25 bps. The BSE Sensex had touched an all-time high of 32,686.48 (intra-day) in the opening trade. The wider index Nifty50, too, slipped from a record high by falling 33 points to close at 10,081.50 points. The gauge had touched an all-time high of 10,137.85 at the outset on Wednesday.

Traders said the RBI’s decision to lower the policy rate to 6% failed to boost sentiment. This is the first rate cut since October 2016 and the interest rate is now at a 6-year low.

They added that no change in cash reserve ratio (CRR) too had a bearing. The 30-share index, which had retreated from record highs in late morning trade, was trading lower soon after the RBI announced its bi-monthly monetary review. In the wake of record low retail inflation, the monetary policy committee (MPC) headed by RBI Governor slashed policy repo rate by 25 basis points to 6% and reverse repo by a similar proportion to 5.75%.

The central bank also retained the growth forecast at 7.3% for the current fiscal. The banking index, however, was marginally up by 0.14% as shares of state-run SBI rose 0.24%, Axis Bank 0.77% and ICICI Bank 0.25%. However, the BSE realty index was 0.27% down while auto shed 0.16%.
