Mumbai: Shares rose in early trade on Wednesday, with the benchmark Sensex surging 360.77 points ahead of the RBI monetary policy decision and positive sentiments spurred by US Federal Reserve comments on inflation.

Performance of markets worldwide
Asian markets witnessed mixed trends on February 8.
Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail Research at HDFC Securities, said that US stocks ended sharply higher on Tuesday after a volatile session in the wake of Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell’s comments that inflation will decline significantly in 2023 but more interest-rate hikes will be necessary.
“But Powells’ remarks were less hawkish than some investors had anticipated, and the reaction in markets was one of relief,” he added.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will announce its monetary policy decision in the morning and there are expectations that the repo rate might be hiked by 25 basis points.
