After offering higher interest rates on fixed deposits for nearly two years, banks now seem to be moving towards easing FD rates. In this regard, Yes Bank has taken the first step by lowering its interest rates by 25 bps on select tenor FDs for both general customers and senior citizens.
It is expected that the RBI may implement a 25 bps rate cut in next month’s policy review. If that happens, banks are likely to follow suit and lower rates, including on loans and FDs. The next bi-monthly meeting of the RBI Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is scheduled for December 4-6, 2024.
