CENTRAL BANK ZONE

Reserve Bank of India

MPC surprised with a jumbo rate cut of 50bps (5:1 majority) with one external member voting for a 25bps cut. Stance too was changed to neutral from accommodative. For supporting transmission, CRR was cut by 100bps to 3% which will inject INR 2.5tn of durable liquidity (Sep onwards)
Growth projections for the year (6.5%) and each quarter are unchanged given favourable domestic factors (monsoon, rural demand, tax cuts, services exports, travel demand, monetary easing). However, FY26 inflation estimate was revised lower to 3.7% (4% in April). Lower-than-expected food prices have resulted in downward revision of near-term projections. Q4 inflation estimate has not been revised lower from 4.4% and FY27 inflation projection is now around 4.5%
With the change in stance to 'Neutral', RBI has now turned data dependent and we don’t see any rate move in next policy. Growth trajectory and external factors (US Fed, trade negotiations) would determine the policy response beyond this

Federal Reserve

For the third consecutive policy meeting, the FOMC maintained status quo in May and the decision was unanimous that was on expected lines. The policy statement stated that the ‘uncertainty about the outlook has increased further’ reflecting uncertainty about the impact that tariffs could have on the economy.
We subsequently maintain our view of a back-loaded easing cycle commencing in September with 75bps worth of rate cuts expected in 2025. The FOMC could exercise further cautions as the cost of tarifs starts to pass through to consumers.
The Fed is expected to further cut rate by 75bps in 2026.

Bank of England

In its policy meeting in May, the BoE cut policy rates by 25bps and re-affirmed that it will take a "gradual and careful approach".
In its next policy meeting in August, the BoE is expected to maintain status quo as it faces the prospects of rising inflation driven by services and housing bills.
The BoE is expected to cut rates by 25-50 bps by the end of 2026.

European Central Bank

In the policy meeting in June, the ECB cut rates by 25bps stating increased concerns over downside risks to economic growth. However, ECB subsequently adopted a more hawkish tone, reflecting rising apprehension over tariff-related uncertainities and thier potential impact on inlfationary pressure and external demand.
The ECB is expected to continues with the easing cycle, given the stable inflation profile and robust labour markets
Our base-case for the ECB the policy rate by a further cumulative 25bps resulting in a terminal rate of 1.75%.

People's Bank of China

The PBoC announced: (a) a reduction in the seven day repurchase reference rate by 30bps, (b) cut in the one-year MLF rate by 30bps, (c ) cut in the RRR by 50bps with a possibility of a further 50bps cut, (d) excluding rural banks from RRR and (e ) cut in the minimum down-payment ratio from 25% to 15%.
We expect a further 25bps-50bps worth of rate cuts and RRR cuts of an additional quantum of 50bps in the seven day repurchase agreement.
