Equity benchmark indices fell in early trade on Monday, extending its previous day’s decline amid profit-taking after rallying to all-time high levels last week.

Wall Street had ended on a mixed note on Friday.

“The market’s response to the RBI’s policy meeting, together with other macroeconomic data and events on the domestic and global fronts will decide the direction of the Indian equity market,” said Mohit Nigam, Fund manager & Head, Hem Securities.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) bought shares worth ₹214.76 crore on Friday, as per exchange data.

The RBI will come out with its next bi-monthly policy review on December 7 at the end of a three-day meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) beginning Monday.
