Two rate cuts have taken place this calendar year but the transmission and impact of the same is yet to seen. The central bank is expected to stand pat with the interest rates; however it can indicate an inclination to reduce interest rates provided that inflation moderates further. In this respect, retail inflation during February grew 5.37%, the third consecutively monthly rise. Unseasonal rainfall in many parts of the country has given birth to the threat of rise in food inflation, which restricts the RBI’s maneuverability on the interest rate trajectory. It seems the central bank will take a pause after the two unscheduled cut in the repo rates this year. Meanwhile, market participants expect RBI to tinker with the liquidity tools, wherein the consensus is calling for some cut in the CRR.
The outlook is a smart start. Indices will take off from where they left on Monday with the Nifty moving closer to the 8700 mark. Should a rate cut come, the market will treat it as a pleasant surprise and surge. Global cues are upbeat for now. US market closed in the green. Dow Jones and S&P added 0.66% while Nasdaq gained 0.62%. Asian indices are trading higher. Nikkei 225 and China's Shanghai index are trading ~0.7% higher.
