Why it matters
The rate increase affects bond yields, deposit rates, borrowing costs, and equity valuations differently. Short- and medium-duration debt funds are considered relatively better placed because their lower duration limits the impact of rising yields. Conversely, long-duration bonds may face near-term mark-to-market pressure if bond yields move higher.
