CENTRAL BANK ZONE

Reserve Bank of India

MPC reduced repo rate by 25bps for second consecutive time to 6% with a change in stance to ‘accommodative’ to support growth given global headwinds.Stance signals the direction of policy rate in the future (lower or pause) and not liquidity conditions per se. While RBI is looking at keeping liquidity in surplus to the extent of 1% of NDTL (surplus of INR 2.2tn), delinking stance from liquidity gives RBI operational flexibility.

Growth projection for FY26 has been revised lower to 6.5% (6.7% earlier) given impact of reciprocal tariffs on India. However, lower oil prices and policy support should limit the impact with growth. Given confidence on achieving inflation target, RBI has revised FY26 estimate to 4% (4.2% earlier). Given expectation of normal monsoon and current global backdrop, we expect inflation to show downward bias at 3.9% in FY26 before it inches up again in FY27

With balance tilting in favour of growth, we see another 50bps of rate cuts (cumulative 100bps). For deeper rate cuts, real rates have to be lower which implies weaker growth and inflation outlook. We believe India’s medium-term growth trajectory is intact and thus maintain 100bps of rate cuts

Federal Reserve

In its policy meeting in September, the FOMC eased policy rates by 25bps in November while it maintained its data-dependent guidance. The Fed Chair emphasized that more easing could be required to bring the policy rate towards its neutral level.

The FOMC is expected to cut rates by 25bps in the December policy meeting, although it remains a close call. The FOMC is expected to signal to the market that it will resort to a staggered easing path.

We expect aa further cumulative 100bps worth of easing over 2024 and 2025 resulting in a terminal rate of 3.50%-3.75%

Bank of England

In its policy meeting in November, the BoE cut policy rates by 25bps and re-affirmed that it will resort to a staggered easing profile.

In its next policy meeting in December, the BoE is expected to maintain status quo while providing an unchanged guidance.

The BoE is expected to cut rates by a cumulative 100bps over 2025 and a further 50bps over 2026.

European Central Bank

In the policy meeting in October, the ECB cut rates by 25bps while it maintained its data-dependent guidance. However, it indicated that further easing could continue reflecting concerns about the growth outlook.

In its policy meeting in December, concerns about disinflation and growth could prompt the ECB to cut rates by 25bps.

Our base-case for the ECB the policy rate by a further cumulative 125bps resulting in a terminal rate of 1.75%.

People's Bank of China

The PBoC announced: (a) a reduction in the seven day repurchase reference rate by 30bps, (b) cut in the one-year MLF rate by 30bps, (c ) cut in the RRR by 50bps with a possibility of a further 50bps cut, (d) excluding rural banks from RRR and (e ) cut in the minimum down-payment ratio from 25% to 15%.

We expect a further 25bps-50bps worth of rate cuts and RRR cuts of an additional quantum of 50bps in the seven day repurchase agreement.
