We are still at the beginning of a series of rate cuts; subject to external risks such as crude oil prices in the medium term.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Impact for debt<\/strong><br \/>\nAs far as the debt markets are concerned, the previous rate cut has given a clear southward trend to yield movements. While debt markets may have reacted a bit to the slightly delayed fiscal target, the current rate cut is likely to ensure that pressure on yields are eased.<br \/>\nDebt investors should continue to stay invested in medium-long debt funds (income\/dynamic bond funds). There also still remains enough opportunity for investors wanting to take exposure at this stage with a 2-3 year view. <\/p>\n<p>The budget measures together with rate cuts can be expected to ease the funding situation for companies in the medium term. In such a scenario, corporate bonds could well see a re-rating. Simply puts, the next 18-24 months could potentially offer dual opportunity in the debt space \u2013 capital appreciation from easing yields and credit opportunity from improved corporate fortunes. Investors need to have an at least 2-year view for both of these to pan out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Reserve Bank of India gave a thumbs-up to the fiscal impulses in the Union Budget by announcing a 25 basis point rate cut 3 days after the budget announcement.
