RBI might hike rate by 50 bps, recession ‘very unlikely’

By Kotak Editorial Team

Last Wednesday, the US Federal Reserve increased its benchmark rate by 75 basis points. This is the third time the Fed has hiked the federal funds rate by 75 basis points this year. It now stands at 3-3.25%, the highest since January 2008. Retail inflation in the US is at a record high. With this, the Indian central bank’s monetary policy committee is likely to raise interest rates by 50 bps, says Kotak AMC’s Lakshmi Iyer and reveals what it means for the Indian economy.

If foreign investors pull out of Indian equities, Indian currency depreciates, leading to a sharp decline in equity markets. Foreign investors have already pulled out over ₹6,400 crore from the Indian equity markets in the first four trading sessions of May when the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and US Federal Reserve raised interest rates. Given the headwinds in terms of elevated crude oil prices, inflation, and monetary tightening (also known as Quantitative Tightening), market volatility is expected to remain high as foreign investors could continue to withdraw funds.

When the economy begins to falter, the default course of action is for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. This is usually great for some folks but not very great for people with large cash reserves parked in CDs or savings accounts.

Adding insult to injury, the desperate rate cuts have, at best, had only a negligible effect on halting the economic downturn.

As of this writing, I see some credit card companies lower their credit limits, often without notifying their customers in advance. Another intriguing thing is that, despite historically low-interest rates, banks are avoiding even a whiff of risk and being unusually tight-fisted with loans. Recently, I have heard of seasoned investors with outstanding credit being turned away by conventional lenders.
