🇮🇳 RBI SET TO HOLD RATES AS MIDEAST RISKS MOUNT • 29 of 30 economists expect no change on Wednesday • RBI is likely to keep the repo rate at 5.25% • Inflation remains within the 2%–6% tolerance band • The 6-member MPC is expected to retain its neutral stance

RBI strikes a balanced tone, awaits clarity on inflation path and composition   ·      The RBI struck a balanced tone. It lowered its near-term inflation projection, raised its near-term growth projection and restored both growth and inflation risks to ‘evenly balanced’. ·      Growth and inflation revisions were confined to the near quarters, while Q3 and Q4 were left broadly unchanged. The near-term resilience has not been carried into the second half, and inflation is still projected to peak at 5.9% in Q3. ·      Underlying inflation (core excluding precious metals) remains benign, though the MPC expects it to converge with core inflation from Q4. ·      We expect RBI to maintain a neutral stance, with October a pause and December the meeting to watch. ·      The 10-year yield should remain range-bound in the near term, with pressure building from late September.

📊 RBI MPC | → **Repo unchanged at 5.25%**, neutral stance retained, unanimous vote. → **FY27 GDP revised UP to 6.7%** (from 6.6%). Quarterly: Q1 7.0%, Q2 6.4%, Q3 6.5%, Q4 6.8%. A confident read on domestic resilience despite the global backdrop. → **FY27 CPI cut to 5.0%** (from 5.1% in June). Quarterly: Q1 5.3%, Q2 4.7%, Q3 5.9%, Q4 5.5%. → **But inflation is expected to rise near-term and peak in Q3**, driven by food and fuel,supply-side pressures the RBI expects to moderate thereafter. → **The external overhang is explicit** the West Asia conflict, disrupted trade routes and elevated energy prices were named as the key risks. Manufacturing may see some cost pressure. Reservoir levels close to normal is one comfort on the food side. The setup is telling: growth revised up, headline inflation revised down for the year yet the RBI stays neutral because it sees a Q3 inflation hump coming. It's buying optionality, not signalling a direction. The read-through for lenders: Could this be a delay for the Bank NIM revival story given rates hold flat or does FCNR give some cushion…. time will tell. #RBI #MonetaryPolicy #MPC #IndianEconomy #BFSI
