Below Quote on MPC meeting outcome By Dr.VK Vijayakukar, Geojit Financial Services
Even though the MPC’s rate decision and stance have come on expected lines as pause and withdrawal of accommodation respectively, the Governor’s commentary can be interpreted as positive. The central bank’s projection of FY24 CPI inflation has come at 5.1%, lower than 5.2% projected in the previous meeting. This indicates that the MPC has come to the end of this rate hiking cycle. If the monsoon is normal and the global scenario is favourable, the MPC may think about a rate cut by end CY2023 or early 2024. From the stock market perspective, this is positive.
The Governor’s remark that “India’s economic and financial sector remains resilient amidst global turmoil” is a reflection of India’s strong and improving fundamentals.
