How to Predict Central Bank Action: Policy Decision making on Currency and Rates
This article endeavors to analyse macro-economic scenarios, specifically impacting India rates and currency market. This further helps to look into crystal ball by forecasting policy actions by the central bank. The write up should help market participants and treasury leaders from bank or corporates to frame prudent data-driven and actionable views. Treasury departments in most large corporates are the key profit drivers for the shareholders. For anyone heading active treasury functions, the utmost important skill to succeed in such roles is the ability to predict central bank actions. Liquidity is the game changer than Rates Current RBI regime under new Governor has been quite nimble in the actions while shifting the banking system liquidity towards surplus zone. Repo cuts on its own does not have much impact on economy or market rates. 'Term premium' is the key driver for longer term rates in debt capital market and the same helps in rate transmission to bank credit. So, RBI has been pro-active in liquidity management like never before by unleashing all possible long term infusion tools like CRR , OMO and Forex swap. As market experts, we are required to look for lead indicators while predicting RBI action. For example, Open market (OMO) Purchase announcement in April is 1st time in past 20 odd years, when RBI started buying Central Govt securities from market at the start of FY26. This is very strong yield signal from the central bank that they want to keep Gsec yields lower and then induce other rates like corporate bond and bank MCLR to come off. Currency movement: Give INR a fair chance INR could not get a fair chance to appreciate against USD during 2020-24 and even though record amount of FPI flows received during this period. All such flows were absorbed by RBI without even allowing for slightest INR appreciation. Any such central bank action is the perfect backdrop for sharp INR depreciation, as foreign investors entirely shift to long USD / short INR side of market. USD / INR currency pair broke out of a tight range in Nov 2024 and moved towards 88 levels. My views on global currency and rates published in Nov 1st week actually predicted this INR move from 83 to 87 within January 2025, due to the US Govt change and probable tariff driven uncertainties. New RBI regime has allowed INR to move in both directions and even market witnessed larger moves within a week, which were not there earlier during a full year period. So, natural forex volatility is back, which is healthy market condition for both importer and exporter to take active hedging decisions. Forecasting Growth, Inflation and Macro Stability We, as treasury heads in large corporates, keep looking at lead indicators in both global and Indian economies to forecast growth and pricing momentum. Globally GDP prints should be lower in coming quarters, due to overall uncertainty created after tariff conundrum starting April. In the US, stagflation (slow growth and sticky inflation) is already priced into the financial markets as US Treasury 10 Year rate stabilizing near 4.40 – 4.60 band.. India FY26 growth, to the extent dependent upon export of goods or services, could slow down in Q1 and Q2. Further, war related disruptions in May have somewhat impacted consumption momentum. However, indigenous contribution of India's GDP like consumption and investment are looking better. This is driven by low interest rate and consequently better credit pick-up in manufacturing sector. While India CPI projection is under control near 4% handle till Oct-Dec quarter, unique problem for our core CPI is the surge in gold prices. India being large consumer of gold jewelry, resultant service inflation will be higher to that extent. RBI broadly follows the framework to evaluate macro-economic stability by a weighted summation function of Fiscal deficit, Inflation and Current Account Deficit. The lower the output of this function, the better is the economic health of the country. RBI Monetary Policy Actions going ahead While analyzing all the above indicators and the evaluation model mentioned, I foresee RBI to utilize this window of opportunity of stable local macro parameters, by cutting Repo till 5.50 from current 6.00 levels till Aug – Oct 2025. There is paramount need to push growth momentum by fueling the bank credit and incentivizing lower corporate bond rates in debt capital market. Few tweaks in policy rates like lower SDF rate compared to current corridor and indicating more OMO purchase in June, will be more powerful to cut the term premia in market rates.
