Platforms like HFM provide seamless solutions for copy trading, offering a simple yet powerful way for Indian investors to participate in global markets.
Democratising Investment Opportunities

However, with the rise of AI-powered ranking tools, the ability to copy top traders is now accessible on any budget. These tools analyse thousands of traders worldwide, ranking them based on various performance indicators, including consistency, profitability, risk management, and historical success.

RBI floats discussion paper to review inflation targeting framework
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has floated a discussion paper ahead of the second review of its inflation targeting framework (FIT), due by March 2026, to examine whether to target core or headline inflation. The review will also assess whether the 4 per cent inflation target remains optimal for balancing growth with stability in India's rapidly growing, large emerging economy. Additionally, the paper will consider whether RBI should target a fixed number or a band. The paper will further examine if the current tolerance band, set at +/- 2 per cent, should be narrowed or widened. Under the Act, the RBI is mandated to maintain a Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation target of 4.0 per cent with a tolerance band around it. The FIT framework, in place since October 2016, is reviewed every five years. In the first review conducted in March 2021, the 4 per cent target was retained for the subsequent five years, until March 2026. 'With price stability being a shared responsibility between the government and the central bank, effective monetary-fiscal coordination, through supply-side interventions and monetary tightening to prevent second-round effects, ensured the success of FIT,' the discussion paper stated. The paper observed that the experience with the FIT framework, introduced in 2016 and first reviewed in 2021, has broadly been positive. 'On the whole, the inflation performance over the nine years of FIT shows a hump-shaped performance, with the first three years and last three years aligning with the target,' it noted. On whether to target headline or core inflation, the report said that headline inflation is preferred globally as a more representative measure of overall price conditions. With the high share of food in the consumption basket, food inflation pressures cannot be ignored in India. The paper cited cross-country data showing that almost all inflation-targeting countries have chosen headline CPI as their target, irrespective of their inflation target level or stage of development. Currently, Uganda is the only country targeting core inflation. Regarding the argument to eliminate food from the target, the discussion paper quoted former RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das: 'Not having a target would make no sense to the average citizen, as it is the headline inflation that the common person understands and should remain that way.' On the argument that the current CPI base (2011-12) is outdated, and that the share of food would decline once the base is updated, the paper stated that food continues to dominate Indian households' consumption, as corroborated by the latest Survey of Household Consumption Expenditure 2023-24. The survey shows that 90 per cent of the lowest fractile rural households and 50 per cent of the lowest fractile urban households spend over 50 per cent of their monthly consumption on food and energy. On whether the 4 per cent target should remain, the paper pointed to empirical evidence suggesting that in India, 4 per cent is the optimal inflation rate at which macroeconomic conditions remain stable with zero output gap. There was an argument to raise the target to 6 per cent, which was considered optimal for India. However, the paper cautioned that increasing the target now, amid geopolitical uncertainty and geo-economic fragmentation, could be perceived by global investors as a dilution of the FIT framework, undermining policy credibility. 'It could erode the gains in policy and institutional credibility achieved through fiscal responsibility and external stability,' the paper warned. On reviewing the tolerance band, the report noted that the current band offers flexibility to account for shocks in food, energy, and other volatile components, as well as any forecasting and measurement errors. The report argued that replacing the target with a band could be seen as diluting the framework, eroding policy credibility, and weakening the commitment to price stability by both domestic and international investors. RBI said that releasing a discussion paper aligns with global practice. Such a paper was not released for public feedback during the first review. Feedback on this paper must be submitted by 18 September 2025.

RBI paper on monetary policy says raising inflation target above 4% could erode policy gains
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Thursday released its keenly awaited discussion paper on the country's monetary policy framework, warning that raising the inflation target at the current juncture could be seen as a dilution of the framework and lead to the loss of policy gains made over the last decade or so. In its discussion paper, the Indian central bank has sought feedback by September 18 on four key questions: if monetary policy should target headline or core inflation, if the current 4 per cent target remains optimal to balance growth and stability, whether the tolerance band of 2-6 per cent needs to be revised or even dropped, and if the target rate of 4 per cent should be removed and only a range be maintained. 'However, raising the target at this stage – when the global economy is confronted with geopolitical uncertainty and geo-economic fragmentation – can be interpreted by global investors as a dilution of the IT (inflation targeting) framework thereby undermining policy credibility. It could erode the gains in policy and institutional credibility achieved through fiscal responsibility and external stability,' the discussion paper said, adding that reducing the target rate below 4 per cent 'may not be appropriate in case of India'. Last week, while upgrading India's rating to BBB from BBB-, S&P Global Ratings had praised the RBI, saying its record of inflation management had been burnished by headline retail inflation staying broadly within the 2-6 per cent target range. Low and stable inflation is crucial for foreign investors as sharp increases in prices can erode their investments, weaken growth and the domestic currency, and create social unrest — all factors that can lead to a rating downgrade. The RBI formally adopted the flexible inflation targeting framework in late 2016. As per the framework agreed with the central government, the target is valid for a period of five years, after which it must be reviewed. Since the framework's inception, the medium-term target for the RBI has been 4 per cent in terms of the Consumer Price Index (CPI)-based inflation, within a band of 2-6 per cent. The target, which is valid until March 2026, must be notified again for a five-year period starting April 2026. Earlier this month on August 6, Governor Sanjay Malhotra had said the RBI was preparing the discussion paper, with a final view to be taken by the government. 'We will give our views to the government as to how we should move ahead in this regard,' Malhotra had said in the post-policy press conference. The debate on whether monetary policy should target headline or core inflation – which is inflation without taking into account food and fuel items, whose prices can be rather volatile – came to the fore over the last year after the Economic Survey for 2023-24, tabled in Parliament in July 2024, said 'it is worth exploring whether India's inflation targeting framework should target the inflation rate excluding food' on account of the high weight of food in the CPI. 'India's inflation targeting framework should consider targeting inflation, excluding food. Higher food prices are, more often, not demand-induced but supply-induced. Short-run monetary policy tools are meant to counteract price pressures arising out of excess aggregate demand growth,' the Survey had argued. However, the RBI under the then governor, Shaktikanta Das, had fought back, saying that food prices could not be ignored by the monetary authority. In its discussion paper released Thursday, the RBI pointed out that almost all inflation targeting countries have chosen headline CPI inflation as the target, irrespective of their inflation target level and stage of development, with only Uganda targeting core inflation. 'Food inflation, if persistent, can spill over to core inflation through higher wage costs, higher rents and higher mark ups. Empirical exercise in the Indian context suggests that non-core prices converge to core prices in the long run. There are also spillovers from non-core inflation to core inflation, possibly through the cost-push and expectation channels, implying that monetary policy cannot ignore second-round effects emanating from persistent supply-side shocks,' the discussion paper said. Headline retail inflation as measured by the CPI slumped to an eight-year low of 1.55 per cent in July – its second-lowest print ever under the current inflation series, which is set to be updated in early 2026. Meanwhile, CPI inflation excluding food and fuel edged down to 4.1 per cent. Headline inflation has moved in a broad range of 1.5-8.6 per cent since January 2014, driven by CPI food inflation, which has ranged from -2.7 per cent to 14.2 per cent. Meanwhile, core inflation has been far more stable. 'The conduct of monetary policy frameworks needs both policy certainty and credibility. This has become particularly important during the current environment of heightened uncertainty. It is, therefore, important that the basic tenets of the framework that have been tested and judged to be favourable are continued,' the discussion paper said.

EAM Jaishankar meets Putin in Moscow, hits back at US tariffs amid deepening Russia ties
NEW DELHI: In a pointed diplomatic signal amid escalating US pressure, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Thursday, reinforcing India's strategic ties with Moscow even as Washington presses ahead with tariffs and warnings over New Delhi's energy trade with Russia. The high-level meeting, part of efforts to finalise President Putin's year-end visit to India, came just hours after Jaishankar held wide-ranging talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Discussions focused on boosting bilateral trade and protecting their energy partnership from potential US penalties. At a joint press briefing with Lavrov, Jaishankar publicly questioned the rationale behind recent US tariffs and criticism of India's oil purchases from Russia. 'We are not the biggest purchasers of Russian oil, that is China. We are not the biggest purchasers of LNG, that is the European Union. We are not the country which has the biggest trade surge with Russia after 2022; I think there are some countries to the South,' he said. The US recently imposed a 25% reciprocal tariff on Indian goods, along with an additional 25% duty specifically targeting India's Russian oil purchases. The move followed US accusations that India is 'profiteering' by reselling discounted Russian crude, a charge New Delhi strongly denies. 'We have done everything asked of us in the past to stabilise the global energy market, including buying oil from Russia,' Jaishankar said, noting that India also imports significant volumes of oil from the US. 'We believe that relations between India and Russia have been among the steadiest of the major relationships in the world after the Second World War,' the EMA added during the joint media briefing. Lavrov said: 'We see a special importance in our relations as we see the emergence of a new architecture of international relations.' On Wednesday, Russia's embassy in Delhi said it had activated a 'special mechanism' to shield its energy trade with India from US sanctions. Russia's Charge d'Affaires Roman Babushkin described Western pressure on India as 'unjustified' and 'neo-colonial.' His comments followed renewed warnings from US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about possible secondary sanctions, in addition to existing tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. Notably, India and Russia have maintained close ties for decades, with Jaishankar citing 'geo-political convergence, leadership contacts and popular sentiment' as pillars of the partnership. A day after co-chairing a trade meeting, Jaishankar also pressed Lavrov on India's concerns, including a widening trade deficit, non-tariff barriers, regulatory hurdles, and reports of Indians serving in the Russian army.
