While it is difficult to predict the trajectory of stock prices, equity funds or gold, one thing is certain: Interest rates will remain low in the near future.

The repo rate has declined from 6.25 per cent in February 2019 to 4 per cent (since May).

Returns offered by liquid funds and other short-term investments have fallen in tandem.
