Nomura Predicts Limited RBI Rate Hikes Amid Moderating Inflation Outlook
Nomura forecasts the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will likely raise interest rates by 25-50 basis points in the current cycle, with possible hikes in October and December, reaching a terminal rate of 5.75%. This contrasts with market expectations of about 125 basis points of increases. Nomura cites moderated core inflation and below-trend growth as reasons for a limited tightening cycle, while noting food prices remain a key near-term inflation risk. The RBI's Monetary Policy Committee meeting is scheduled for early October.
