With Fed easing, interest rate differential between India & US widens, making Indian debt, equity more attractive

- DIPAK MONDAL @ New Delhi

WHY is it that Indian stock, currency and bond traders and investors keenly watch the move by the Federal Reserve Bank in the US? The change in US interest rates has a wider implication on India and different asset classes in India - whichever way the Fed decides to go.

Usually, if the US central bank lowers interest rates, it is positive for Indian markets, and vice-versa. Recently, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)'s decision on December 10, to cut the benchmark interest rate by 25 bps to a range of 3.50%to 3.75% - the third consecutive reduction in 2025 -has several key implications for Indian asset classes.
