India’s RBI seen raising rates by 25 basis points after inflation hits 4.82% 20-month high
AI Market Summary
Rising India CPI to a 20-month high (4.82%) alongside a renewed Fed tightening cycle and higher US 10-year yields increases pressure on the RBI to hike rates to preserve the yield differential and limit currency stress. A likely 25 bp RBI hike would tighten domestic financial conditions and reprice India rate expectations, impacting INR sensitivity to global rates and risk appetite in the near term.

India’s retail inflation has climbed to a 20-month high of 4.82%, strengthening the case for an interest-rate increase. Most economists expect the Reserve Bank of India to raise its policy rate by 25 basis points to preserve the yield gap that supports foreign investment. The US Federal Reserve’s recent rate increase and a rise in the US 10-year yield have added pressure for tighter policy in India. The RBI last changed the repo rate in December 2025, cutting it by 25 bps to 5.25%.
