RBI's surplus fund withdrawal set to dampen money market sentiment
The Indian central bank's decision to withdraw surplus liquidity from the banking system just weeks after a large rate cut and cash boosting measures has prompted an uptick in money market rates which may continue in the coming days, traders said. The Reserve Bank of India will conduct a seven-day variable rate reverse repo (VRRR), for Rs 1 trillion ($11.64 billion) on Friday, its first such operation since November-end. Why it's important Conducting VRRRs shows the RBI's discomfort with the overnight and treasury bill rates remaining below repo rate. These are expected to move towards the repo rate as the RBI continues such operations, potentially for shorter tenors. This would increase the short-term cost of funding for banks, and undo some of the benefits of the rate cut, analysts said. Weighted average call rate, which is the RBI's operative rate, has remained near the Standing Deposit Facility (SDF) rate, for the past few weeks. Context Earlier this month, Reuters reported that the RBI could start conducting VRRRs to pump out surplus as and when required. Liquidity has averaged at around Rs 2.76 trillion on a daily basis in June, higher than 1 per cent of banking deposits. The RBI is looking at surplus of around 1 per cent, Governor had said. Last week, Reuters reported that RBI sought feedback on aligning call rate more closely with repo rate. Key Quotes Money market rates are likely to get impacted with treasury bill yields moving up by 5-10 bps, said Alok Singh, group head of treasury at CSB Bank. A suitably sized daily VRRR could have been more efficient to pull up the overnight policy rates quickly, said Abhishek Upadhyay, senior economist at ICICI Securities Primary Dealership. "The focus now will be on whether RBI proactively moves to shorter tenor VRRRs, if tendering in 7-day auction is not very strong," he added.

BTA likely to reduce India's goods trade surplus with US, says Crisil
The imminent bilateral trade agreements (BTA) with the US is likely to reduce India's goods trade surplus with that country, according to a research report by Crisil. During the financial year 2024-25, India's trade surplus with the US stood at $41.18 billion, according to data of the Indian government. The report said after completion of trade pact, India will be able to import more energy, certain agriculture products and defence equipment among others. Although the US is India's largest export partner, there is scope to increase exports further in areas like smartphones, pharmaceutical products and labour-intensive exports such as textiles, gems and jewellery, the report said. The US announced reciprocal tariffs on India and a host of other nations in April 2025, and then paused the increase for 90 days from April 10 to negotiate trade deals with these countries. As India negotiates a trade deal with the US in the form of BTA, the first tranche is expected to be completed by September this year. The report said that India should be prepared to see more imports from the US under BTA. This is because India's tariffs are much higher than the US and bringing these down would benefit the exporters in the US. India's exports, however, are unlikely to see a major spike because the focus of the US administration is to reduce the trade deficit with India and most of the top exports are already duty-free. The US is not only the world's largest economy, but also the world's largest importer, according to the report.
