The gradual tightening by RBI with a focus to get a balance between inflation and growth has given energy to the market. Mid & small caps outperformed as investors find value buying opportunity after the recent nosedive correction. Progressing monsoon and positive outlook on rural economy is giving boost to the economy, which is already showing signs of improvement.

Mustafa Nadeem, CEO, Epic Research on rate-sensitive stocks
The rate hike by RBI will have a marginal impact on rate-sensitive sectors as they are prone to the rates but in the long run we are expecting them to fade out since this hike has been considered on the back of various perspectives like global commodity prices, especially crude, the MSP hikes and the recent uncertainty in global markets with a rise in US Yield. The committee also made a point very clearly for upside tick in inflation. While in Realty we have seen some improvements and demand pick up in last few quarters while most interest rates in this sector are of floating rate, so we don't see any effect in medium to long term while in short term it may dampen the sentiments.
The automobile sector is seeing a volume growth in two digits while the higher borrowing cost can be passed on but given the overall growth story of this sector, we are not seeing any red flag or concern that needs to change our bullish outlook on the sector. As far as banking is concerned we expect these rate hikes to be short-term in nature and doesn't wave a flag of concern in medium to long term. It will be important to see the crude prices and August meeting since we don't expect any rate hike then if outlook and scenario improve over time.
