RBI's rate hike to increase EMIs; equity, forex markets give thumbs up

The Reserve Bank's decision on Friday to raise the key interest rate by half a percentage point will increase the EMIs for home, auto and other loans, though the hawkish move was cheered by both equity and forex markets, with the benchmark BSE Sensex rising more than 1,000 points and the rupee appreciating by 33 paise against the US dollar.
