Samiran Chakrabarty, Head - Research, StanChart Bank speaking to CNBC-TV18 in the wake of 25 bps rate hike by RBI said, this policy seems to have no tolerance for inflation at all. However, growth slowdown has been given more tolerance than anticipated due to uncertain global developments.
Bonds may be under pressure today. The RBI's anti-inflationary stance expects bond yields to move up in the medium-term. We may see strong demand for today's 12000 cr auction. The 10-year yield is seen between 8- 8.08%, says Ananth Narayan, StanChart Bank.
The bond market will be watching out for the Credit Policy today. We believe that given the real rates are already very high, a 25 bps increase in repo and reverse repo should suffice, says Ananth Narayan, StanChart Bank.
