14:29 (IST) 8 Jun 2022 e-Mandates on cards for recurring payments from Rs 5000- 15000 a welcome move
As consumer confidence is growing towards adoption of digital payments, their preference towards convenience is increasing as ever. Today’s announcement to enhance the limit of e-Mandates on Cards for Recurring Payments from Rs. 5000 to Rs 15000 is a welcome move as it will not only benefit consumers to set mandates for multiple categories of payments but also include more players from insurance, education and loan sectors.

14:22 (IST) 8 Jun 2022 We think 10-yr G-sec would cross 8% sooner than our earlier projection
MPC’s focus has now turned to taming inflation as reflected by its hawkish stance and aggressive rate hike. We believe RBI is front-loading rate hikes (90bps in 2 months!). We expect another 50bps repo rate hike by the end of FY23 leading to an overall 140bps rate hike in FY23. Such a steep rise in borrowing costs will affect discretionary spending and dampen the nascent recovery of investments. We think that 10yr G-sec would cross 8% sooner than our earlier projection of – by end of CY22. Sumit Shekhar, Economist, Ambit Capital
14:18 (IST) 8 Jun 2022 We may see Rupee spot weakening to new all-time low amid weak fundamentals
Though rate hikes might not help much in the supply side inflation, they could cool down the demand. Going forward, we might see the Rupee spot weakening towards new all-time lows amid weak fundamentals. Elevated crude oil prices, bounce back in the dollar index and persistent FII outflows ahead of FOMC meeting might prompt gradual depreciation in Rupee towards 78.2 levels.

13:44 (IST) 8 Jun 2022 Expect the RBI to deliver 35bp rate hike in August
Over the next three meetings (August, October, and December), we expect the RBI to make inflation management its key priority, which could include steps to curb aggregate demand. In terms of sequencing, we now expect the RBI to deliver a 35bp rate hike in August, and then raise the policy rate by 25bp to 5.50% in October, while also switching to a neutral stance. Beyond that, we expect RBI to deliver one more rate hike in December to 5.75%, which we now believe will mark the end of this cycle. This will allow the RBI to lean its policy stance towards tightening, while maintaining a neutral stance by the end of the calendar year. Rahul Bajoria, MD & Chief India Economist, Barclays
13:19 (IST) 8 Jun 2022 Bond, equity markets react well to the MPC outcome
The bond markets and equity markets reacted well to the MPC outcome being relieved that the MPC did not sound more hawkish than most expectations. Absence of a CRR hike also was a relief. Stock prices of rate sensitive sectors including Auto, Banks, Finance, Durables, Realty have reacted well to the MPC outcome due to the above. However, this upmove may need more triggers to continue.

Dalal Street remained range-bound and marred by volatility as headline indices and broader markets remain engaged in a tug of war between bulls and bears.

Marquee names such as Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL), Tata Steel, and HDFC AMC are some stocks that will go ex-dividend soon.

13:08 (IST) 8 Jun 2022 Although bond markets have reacted positively to RBI policy, yields will continue to be under pressure
“The repo rate hike of 50 bps by the RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee is pretty much on expected lines. RBI has raised its inflation forecast for FY23 to 6.7% which is probably a more realistic number now. The MPC has dropped the words “remain accommodative” and indicated that it is focused on withdrawal of accommodation; this is possibly suggesting a “neutral to calibrated-tightening” stance. The bond markets have heaved a sigh of relief as the rate hike came in as per expectations, and RBI did not increase the CRR any further. RBI’s ongoing measures around withdrawal of liquidity have been broadly successful in bringing down systemic liquidity. Although the bond markets have reacted positively to the policy, yields will continue to be under pressure over the next few weeks, and drift upwards. Key factors to watch out for going ahead, are how the food inflation pans out and the government’s borrowing programme and the ongoing auction supply.”

12:09 (IST) 8 Jun 2022 Expect RBI to take repo rate to 6-6.5% range amid ongoing rate hike cycle
At the peak, we expect the Reserve Bank of India to take the repo rate to the 6-6.5% range during the ongoing rate hike cycle. While the major part of rate hike by the Reserve Bank of India are already factored in by most parts of the financial market, in the near term, the higher than expected rate hike can have some negative influence in the equity and bond market.

12:05 (IST) 8 Jun 2022 RBI’s 50bps rate hike already priced in; market focus now on Fed rate hike
As expected, the repo rate hiked by 50 bps to 4.90%. After the commentary of the RBI governor last month, the market has already expected a rate hike of 50bps in the June meeting. So now the RBI has taken a decision on the rate hike of 50bps. We believe that this rate hike is already priced in the market. Along with this bank rates have also increased by 50bps to 5.15% and withdrawal of accommodative stance for the indian economy. A good take away for the market is that RBI has retained the GDP forecast of 7.2% for FY2023 and CPI inflation expected to be at 6.7% for FY2023. Overall the policy is in the expectation of the market, 50bps rate hike is already priced in the market now the market focus will be on the Fed rate hike.

12:03 (IST) 8 Jun 2022 Home loans set to get costlier as RBI MPC hikes repo rate
From a real estate perspective, home loans are set to get costlier. Banks have already raised the interest rate on home loan by 30-40bps since the earlier repo rate hike by the RBI in May and now with the repo rate cumulatively higher by 90 basis point there will be further increase in interest rate for homebuyers. Rising interest rate along with elevated property construction cost and product price pressures could adversely impact on the real estate buyer’s sentiment. We hope that economic recovery and household income growth will serve as a cushion for sustaining consumer demand in the face of this rate hike. Further, monetary policy tightening by central banks globally and any resolution on the prolonged Russia – Ukraine war will bring price stability.

11:03 (IST) 8 Jun 2022 RBI Gov’s remark that the economy remains resilient is bullish from market perspective
RBI’s projections of GDP growth rate of 7.2% and inflation of 6.7% for FY23 reflect a realistic monetary policy. The higher inflation projection indicates that the central bank recognises the seriousness of inflation and the 50 bp repo rate hike is a message that they are determined to anchor inflation expectations. The Governor’s remark that “the economy remains resilient and recovery has gathered momentum” is bullish from the market perspective. The bond market’s positive response with bond yields rising stems from the absence of CRR hike.

08:59 (IST) 8 Jun 2022 Stock markets suspect RBI will go for another 40 bps rate hike
Domestic equities are likely to see a gap up opening on the back of a strong upsurge in overnight US markets and early optimism in SGX Nifty. However, if the RBI’s rate hike decision meets street expectations, markets may price in the hike. The street suspects RBI will go for another 40-basis points rate hike. That said, RBI would also prefer to go slow on rate hikes in the backdrop of the government too responding to the inflation risks. The recent announcement on fuel tax cuts and reduction of import duties on edible oils will provide some comfort to the RBI. Besides the Reserve Bank of India, the European Central Bank is also set to meet next week with the outcome expected on June 9. Prashanth Tapse, Vice President (Research), Mehta Equities
