As the Bank of China raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 3.25% for one-year deposits in local currency, and 6.31% for one-year loans, this has led to caution among the investors in the Asian region.
 The move, effective Wednesday, marks the fourth hike in less than six months and follows a spate of other tightening measures, including reserve requirement increases and efforts to curb bank lending and cool the property market. The Indian indices are expected to trade rangebound and may also witness volatility as the session progresses.
