RBI: Meeting Preview: Remain on Hold, Bias Change to Cut.
RBI
- Expect the RBI to remain on hold at next week's meeting, with the bias now moving to cut.
- GDP has softened, though the monsoon rains have been good and likely to start to see the impacts of the expenditure from the recent budget flow through.
- CPI has moderated, as has wholesale prices. Currently sitting around mid part of the target for the RBI.
- Area to watch will be how the two new voting members vote given there is limited understanding of their bias.
- Today's services PMI whilst softer, should not have a material impact on the decision.
