Rate-Sensitive Stocks Surge Nearly 8% After RBI Injects Rs 1.5 Lakh Crore into Financial System

Shares sensitive to interest rates surged nearly 8% after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced a liquidity injection of Rs 1.5 lakh crore into the financial system. This move is expected to ease liquidity constraints and may lead to an interest rate cut in the upcoming RBI policy meeting in February, providing relief to rate-sensitive stocks amid concerns over high liquidity deficits.
