Today, the RBI hiked the repo rate by 50 bps to 5.9%, as expected by analysts, leading Sensex and Nifty to a bull run. Sensex today jumps above 1,047.99 points and Nifty jumps 320.20 points in the late trading hours. The banking stocks and the financial sectors stocks are having the major weightage on that. The Nifty private bank gained by 584.10 points, and the Nifty PSU Bank gained by 95.25 points today.

INDUSIND Bank, BAJAJ Finserve, Bajaj Finance, HDFC Bank, HDFC, Kotak Bank, Axis Bank, SBI, and ICICI Bank are some of the top gainers today. On the other hand, Asian Paints, Britannia, Wipro, Infosys, and TCS are some of the top losers in trade.
After the RBI repo rate hike, the banks are also expected to increase their interest rates on loans. However, assured income options like FDs and government bonds are expected to be more profitable this year. Banks might offer better interest rates on FDs, after the 50 bps rate hike. So, the banking stocks are shinning today.
