The Indian market fell more than 2% on Wednesday after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) hiked the lending rate by 40 basis points (bps) to 4.40 per cent to tame inflation
The Indian market fell more than 2% on Wednesday after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) hiked the lending rate by 40 basis points (bps) to 4.40 per cent to tame inflation. Benchmarks Nifty50 and Sensex dropped 2.29% each as profit booking marred the market post RBI rate announcement. The 12-share Bank Nifty declined nearly 2.5%, while Nifty midcap and small cap too ended over 2% lower tracking benchmarks
Among stocks, maximum selling pressure was seen in media, realty and consumer durable stocks, followed by auto banking and financial services as all sectors closed deep in the red on Wednesday
"Although the rate hike was anticipated, the sudden announcement of a 40bps increase in repo rate along with a 50bps increase in CRR in response to the rising inflation spooked markets leading to a heavy selloff," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Asian markets were trading in the green in early trade as Hang Seng Index at the Hong Kong Exchange rose by 0.6% and Chinese Shanghai Composite gained 0.5%, while there was no action seen in Japanese Nikkei 225.
Similarly, SGX Nifty Futures, which hints at opening trade for the Indian market, on the Singaporean Exchange gained more than 150 points, indicating a positive opening for the domestic equity market.
