Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 25: While President Trump's 90-day tariff pause has come as a welcome respite for volatile equity markets, the fact that there continues to be policy uncertainty will mean that business investment is likely to be sluggish in the near-future. This increasing economic uncertainty is also why the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) changed its monetary policy stance from 'neutral' to 'accommodative' when it announced a 25 basis points cut in the repo rate to 6.00% earlier this month. This represents a significant shift in the RBI's outlook - an accommodative stance effectively means that rate hikes are off the table for now and leaves room for further rate cuts if inflation stays under control.
For Indian investors, this changing economic and policy environment is a signal to urgently rethink their asset allocation strategy, leaning more heavily towards the stability of fixed-return instruments. With global trade tensions still unresolved and India's economic growth still under pressure, the likelihood of further monetary easing by the RBI looms large. This means that interest rates, especially on Fixed Deposits (FDs), may trend downward in the coming months. Many banks and financial institutions have already lowered their deposit rates following the recent repo rate cut. This presents a narrow window of opportunity for discerning investors to lock in higher returns with the few institutions that are yet to revise their rates downward.
