Which asset classes could gain or lose from RBI's rate hike?
Following RBI's rate hike, FD investors could benefit as banks are likely to raise interest rates. Short- and medium-duration debt funds are relatively better placed, as their lower duration limits the impact of rising yields. Rate-sensitive sectors could face increased margin pressure, while gold may lose some appeal as the rate hike increases the opportunity cost of holding the asset.
