September 28, 2022: Indian shares are expected to open lower on Wednesday, mirroring Asian peers, as risk aversion remained unabated on worries over a global recession.

India’s NSE stock futures listed on the Singapore exchange were down 1.1% as of 0216 GMT, while MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down 1.7%.

Indian markets are expected to remain rangebound until the central bank’s policy decision on Friday, analysts have said.

The Reserve Bank of India’s three-day policy meeting begins on Wednesday.
