How will RBI's 1st repo rate hike in 4 years affect loan EMIs and FDs?

For a ₹50 lakh loan at 7.5% over 25 years, the EMI could increase by roughly ₹817. Meanwhile, those looking to invest in fixed deposits could get higher interest rates following the hike.

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.
