MARKET COMMENT Madhavi Arora, Economist, FX & Rates, Edelweiss Securities
Markets have been reacting to possible RBI action to defend the currency via the interest rate route and to reckon higher imported inflation pressures ahead amid higher oil prices and INR depreciation.. Of course, recent stress in NBFC space has suddenly led to sharp uptick in money market rates in the last one week, leading to tighter financial conditions in the money market space. However, the sovereign papers have been largely insulted and have been more a function of INR and crude movement. We think RBI will likely follow suit of the EM peers and will likely raise policy rates by 25bps in the upcoming October policy
