RBI’s second rate cut signals game on: What it means for stock market investors

RBI delivered a second consecutive 25 bps rate cut, shifting its stance to ‘accommodative’, signaling more cuts ahead to support growth.

Markets dipped post-announcement; gold loan firms like Muthoot and IIFL fell sharply on regulatory concerns.

NBFCs may benefit from both rate cuts and reduced risk weights on bank loans.

Analysts expect more easing in upcoming MPC meetings, though global risks and slow liquidity transmission remain key concerns.
