RBI Monetary Policy Committee maintained a status quo on the repo rate and stance. The six-member committee of the central bank, with a majority of 4:2, decided to keep the benchmark repo rate unchanged for the eighth consecutive time. The MPC also decided to continue its stance of ‘withdrawal of accommodation’. RBI governor’s speech emphasized easing inflation and firming economic growth while food inflation remains a cause of concern. While keeping CPI inflation projections unchanged from previous monetary policy, RBI raised GDP projections. One important thing RBI Governor stated in the speech was, ‘While the RBI keeps a watch on the impact of monetary policy in advanced economies, RBI will act according to the domestic growth-inflation conditions and the outlook.’ Market mood uplifted post Monetary Policy announcement! Sensex crossed 76,000 while Nifty crossed 23,000 level, as GDP growth projection revised to 7.2% from 7.0% earlier. Bank Nifty is up by 1%+ following remarks of RBI governor on sound and resilient banking system and strong financials by NBFCs. #RBIMonetaryPolicy #NineStarBroking #FinanceUpdates

Rate = Unchanged Recently, the RBI had announced that the rate will continue to be maintained 6.5 %. It has remained the same way for the last 22 months. But the real question, Why should we even bother when some economic rates at the macroeconomic level are being adjusted ?? Well, this has a trickle down effect - Rate, in this case, refers to the Repo rate. This is the rate at which commercial banks borrow money from the central bank. The central bank uses repo rate as the ultimate tool to control and sail past the economic cycles. In case of inflation where the prices are skyrocketing and there's too much money in flow, the central bank increases the rates. This in turn, increases the interest rates of borrowings. This discourages corporates and even the people at a retail level to reduce borrowings. So on an overall level the spending and the money flow decreases. This has a negative impact on the prices of stocks and the market most likely falls. On the other hand the yield on bonds, government securites, other debt instruments and even prices of gold for that matter, increase. Similarly, when the market is red and the economy is going through a recession, the central bank cuts the rate to stimulate spending and liquidity in the system. Interest rate on loans become cheaper and credit can be availed easily. Markets welcome this decision, and the bond yields fall. ➡️ This also highlights the inverse relation between bonds and equity. As the rate hike happens the money is transferred from one market to another - in simple terms - transferred to the market which gives better returns. However, in reality it is the anticipation of a rate cut/hike that triggers the market's movement rather than the actual announcement. ➡️ Therefore, the changes in the rate made by RBI affects everything, right from the EMI that we pay, to the FD rates that people go after. To put in a capsule, Repo rate inversely impacts the markets. ➡️ Increase in rate, stocks fall ➡️ Decrease in rate, stocks rise Follow Naren S #economics #ca #rbirate #market #stocks
