MARKET COMMENT Mahesh Singhi, Founder & MD, Singhi Advisors

I believe rate hike view of RBI is against the backdrop of market uncertainties, liquidity and imbalances in the bond market. While domestic macro factors are the primary concern for RBI, the global backdrop has become more important in recent months.
 
Emerging market economies are choosing to interest rate hikes to defend their currencies at a time of strong portfolio outflows. India, too, has seen outflows with foreign investors selling. RBI has thus weighed higher rates as a buffer for the currency markets & as a caution of increasing possibility of a ‘sudden stop’ for the global economic recovery. I believe these rate hikes will provide some support to the Indian currency
