CENTRAL BANK ZONE

Reserve Bank of India

In the October Policy meeting, the MPC kept the policy rate unchanged with a 5:1 majority and unanimously changed stance to neutral. Stance change is supportive of growth going forward and shows MPC is confident of aligning inflation to target (4%) over the medium-term.

While growth and inflation estimates have been kept unchanged for FY25, there is a change in quarterly trajectory with near-term growth revised lower and medium-term revised higher. In case of inflation, March 2025 and 2026 prints are benign at 4.2% and 4.1% respectively. The downward revision in medium-term inflation forecasts shows MPC believes food inflation should ease on the back of above normal monsoon this year and gives it room to support growth when a few data prints have been underwhelming.

US yields have surged after US elections with clear steepening bias visible and dollar is stronger. Given such a move in US yields, it is not easy for MPC to cut rates particularly when inflation is on the higher side of its tolerance band .This makes a case for MPC to move in Feb or Apr but it has ample of room to sound dovish on rates front in the policy in particular when FY25 growth estimate might be revised lower given H1 growth is lower than RBI’s forecast

Federal Reserve

In its policy meeting in September, the FOMC commenced easing with an aggressive 50bps rate cut as it indicated that its focus has shifted to deterioration in the labour market and as disinflation was taking hold. While it indicated that future actions would remain data-dependent, it signalled via the 'dot-plot' that easing would continue over 2024 to 2026.

The FOMC is expected to cut rates by 25bps in the November policy meeting with a risk of it easing policy by 50bps if economic indicators weaken sharply.

We expect a cumulative 225bps worth of easing by the FOMC over 2024 and 2025 assuming that a 'soft-landing' unfolds.

Bank of England

In its policy meeting in September, the BoE maintained status quo while signalling that it could ease further at a gradual pace of inflation shows continued signs of softneing further.

In its next policy meeting in November, the BoE is expected to cut rates by 25bps if as we expect services inflation moderates and labour market re-balancing continues to remain in place.

The BoE is expected to cut rates by 50bps in 2024 and by 100bps in 2025.

European Central Bank

In the policy meeting in September, the ECB cut the policy rate by 25bps while indicating that future actions would remain data dependent. It described the risks to the growth outlook being to the downside and risks to inflation outlook as 'balanced'.

Given the much sharper weakening in economic indicators, we see a case for the ECB to cut rates by 25bps in its October policy meeting.

Our base-case for the ECB easing the policy rate by 75bps over 2024 and 100bps in 2025 in response to below trend growth and easing in inflation pressures over the medium term.

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 downpayment 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.
