Rising US Yields and Oil Prices Raise Expectations of RBI Rate Hike
Indian government bond yields have risen following increases in U.S. Treasury yields and elevated crude oil prices, raising inflation concerns ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) upcoming monetary policy meeting on October 7. Brokerage Motilal Oswal expects the RBI to raise interest rates by 75-100 basis points if crude prices remain high and inflation expectations rise. August retail inflation was reported at 4.82%, with forecasts suggesting inflation could exceed 6% in Q3 FY27, influencing market expectations of a hawkish RBI stance.
