OUTLOOK

Central banks have been focused on a point pre-pandemic that the economy needs to re-attain and then grow beyond. This thought has been apparent in the US Fed’s commentary on labor markets as well as RBI / MPC commentary in the recently concluded policy.

The extent of disequilibrium in India is nowhere near what it is in the US. This is because both monetary and fiscal loosening were well calibrated and therefore largely avoided the risk of near term overheating.

Given the current emergency levels of overnight rate at 3.35%, RBI doesn’t need a full all clear to start to lift this rate. From a bond market perspective, volatility in money market rates will likely continue as RBI moves to further expand the VRRR program as flagged in the policy. This reaffirms our long preferred bar-belling approach to risk management in this environment.
