RBI Expected to Hike Repo Rate Amid Inflation Concerns, Impacting Fixed-Income Strategies
Experts anticipate the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) may raise the policy repo rate by 50-75 basis points in the current cycle, driven primarily by domestic inflation, growth, and financial stability factors rather than following the US Federal Reserve's path. Inflation concerns, including food prices and crude oil, pose risks to fixed-income investors, who are advised to prefer shorter-duration bonds and maintain a cautious stance until clearer signals emerge from the RBI's policy decisions.
