Global Economic Outlook: Fed Caution, RBI Rate Hike, and Growth Prospects in FocusPreviousNext

This week’s economic outlook is shaped by key events including the US Federal Reserve's cautious stance amid soft jobs data, with rate hike odds for October falling sharply. The Reserve Bank of India is expected to raise its repo rate due to inflation pressures. Global markets face volatility from rising US Treasury yields and debt concerns. Nobel laureate Michael Spence highlights India and China’s growth potential and warns of possible economic shocks linked to high debt and market valuations.
