SBI Research Anticipates RBI Rate Hike Amid Rising Inflation and Economic Concerns
SBI Research forecasts CPI inflation rising to about 5.65% in September and exceeding 6.5% in October-November, driven by broadening inflationary pressures and global risks. It expects the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to raise the policy repo rate by at least 25 basis points at its October 5-7 meeting. Meanwhile, Nuvama Research questions the justification for a rate hike given subdued growth and benign core inflation, cautioning that higher rates may not ease rupee pressure and could slow growth. RBI's policy decision will weigh these factors amid evolving economic conditions.
