Welcome to CNBC-TV18’s Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are the top news from around the world ahead of the trading session of December 6 -Yesterday, markets extended their recovery in a volatile session, gaining over 1% after a brief pause. Following a subdued start, a sudden surge in select heavyweight stocks mid-session lifted sentiment, although volatile swings in the final hour tempered momentum. Ultimately, the Nifty ended above 24,700, marking its highest closing level since October 21. Most sectors contributed to the rally, with IT, banking, and auto emerging as the top gainers. The IT index hit a record high, rising more than 2%, with Infosys and TCS leading the gains. -Market volatility was largely induced due to uncertainty around MPC's policy meet and the RBI's focus on liquidity measures following a dip in economic growth, which is going to be the key focus today as governor Shaktikanta Das is set to announce the policy outcome at 10 am today. -As of this morning, GIFT Nifty was higher, trading at a premium of more than 40 points from Nifty Futures Thursday close, indicating a start in the green for the Indian market. -Stocks to watch: Afcons Infrastructure, Nykaa, Cummins India, Dr Reddy's Laboratories, Ola Electric, Ramco Systems -The key thing to watch today will be the RBI policy outcome.

Meanwhile, Chevron Corp. said it plans to slow production growth in the biggest US oil field next year. Gold held its declines. -Bitcoin pulled back a record high with some traders already seeking to hedge against a deeper retreat after the original cryptocurrency surged to more than $100,000 for the first time.
