RBI is in focus.

Former RBI chief warns against exhausting forex reserves to defend the rupee, urging policymakers to prioritise economic fundamentals over a specific exchange-rate target.
The analysis
Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.
Why it matters
- With RBI involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
Market context
- A market-wide development: it reaches beyond any single stock.
