Lakshmi Iyer, CIO (Debt) & Head Products, Kotak Mutual Fund“The RBI MPC left key rates unchanged – on expected lines. The accommodation bias was maintained too, however with 5-1 (1 member dissenting). The Variable rev repos (VRRR) amt was also graded increased from INR 2 tn to INR 4tn over next 1 month. This policy has embarked on liquidity normalisation as a start point, being mindful of growth drivers as well. We could see the yield curve gradually flatten with shorter end moving up tad faster than longer end. Markets could start pricing in possibilities of rev repo rate hike, though the policy refrained from any such guidance.”
