RBI status quo

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected to leave interest rates unchanged at its final rate-setting meeting of the year on 8 December.

Five economists polled said the central bank’s monetary policy committee (MPC) would leave the benchmark repurchase rate at a record low of 4%. But a hike is imminent early next year, they told this news platform.

The Indian economy, Asia’s third largest, expanded by 8.4% year-on-year in the quarter through September 2021, compared to a contraction of 7.4% in the corresponding period of the preceding year, per government data.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
