| --- Advertisement --- FACT: India Was Destined To Prosper Regardless of Whether Modi Won Or Not… The question on the minds of a lot of our readers until a few days ago was – "Who's going to come to power this time? And will India's growth, and more importantly my gains, be affected by who wins the election?" Well, in the short term, may be. But the fact of the matter was – in the long term, we have always believed India was destined for a potential MASSIVE upsurge regardless of whether Modi won or not. Yes! It's all thanks to the once-in-2000 years economic phenomenon we call the Rebirth of India that could transform our country from developing to developed, take the Sensex past 100,000 and potentially making regular investors a LOT of money. In fact, the Rebirth of India is actually MUCH bigger than the opening up the economy in 1991 too. And Modi's re-election could actually act as a catalyst and help accelerate the entire thing. That's why our Co-Head of Research, Tanushree Banerjee, has identified 7 specific stocks that she believes are potentially best placed to benefit from this coming surge. But these stocks may not remain in the BUY range for long. So hurry, just click here for full details now... ------------------------------ |

The Reserve Bank of India Cuts the Repo Rate by 25 bps
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has cut repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.75%. The central bank also changed its stance from 'neutral' to 'accommodative'. The reverse repo rate has also been altered to 5.50%.
This is the third consecutive time that RBI has cut rates by 25bps.
Indian economy has been experiencing a slowdown with unemployment at 45-year highs, CPI inflation excluding food and fuel down to 4.5% in April from 5.1% in March and a revision by the RBI on the GDP for FY20 from 7.2% to 7% indicates just that.
Global Stock Market Drivers
US equity-index futures and European shares advanced on Thursday as the prospect of easier monetary policy continued to help fuel a rebound in stocks. The appetite for risk was limited, however, and government bonds also rose.
Contracts for the three main American equity gauges picked up momentum in the European morning after the S&P 500 notched the biggest two-day rally since January.
Asia's benchmark gauge slipped, with a big decline in Shanghai shares despite a cash injection by China's central bank.
There are lingering concerns for global trade, with discussions between President Donald Trump's administration and Mexican officials ending Wednesday without agreement. Speaking in Ireland on Thursday morning, Trump touted progress in the negotiations as well as the pressure he's putting on China.
Here are some notable to watch out for:
- The European Central Bank policy decision in focus.
- Theresa May steps down today as leader of the Conservative Party.
- Today US jobs report is projected to show payrolls rose by 180,000 in May, unemployment held at 3.6%, a 49-year low, and average hourly earnings growth sustained a 3.2% pace.
- Finance ministers and central bank governors from the G-20 nations gather in Fukuoka, Japan this weekend.
From the Commodities Space...
Oil prices firmed on Thursday after falling to near five-month lows in the previous session, but sentiment stayed weak due to rising US supply and a stalling global economy.
Front-month Brent crude futures were at US$61 a barrel, up 0.6%. US West Texas Intermediate crude futures fetched US$51.84, up 0.3%.
The two benchmarks on Wednesday hit their lowest since mid-January at US$59.45 and US$50.60, respectively, amid a surge in US crude inventories and record production, and as a global economic slowdown was starting to hit energy demand.
Despite Thursday's gains, oil markets are moving into bear territory as defined by a 20% fall from recent peaks reached in late April.
