A higher UK rate could add to global borrowing costs and affect foreign investor appetite for risk, including Indian equities. The effect on India is likely to be limited unless it contributes to wider market moves.
Global impact
No global market reaction is reported. Expectations of rate rises by major central banks can influence bond yields, currencies and global funding costs.
