Motilal Oswal forecasts potential RBI rate hike amid global monetary tightening
What happened
The global monetary policy regime is entering a tighter phase, with major central banks shifting away from ultra-loose conditions. Motilal Oswal Financial Services stated that a rate hike by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is a meaningful possibility in October. This potential move hinges on elevated crude prices and rising inflation expectations, which are currently pushing food inflation near 6 per cent. The firm forecasts FY27 CPI inflation at 5.1 per cent, noting that financial conditions are already tightening through liquidity absorption operations.

Why it matters
Should the RBI hike rates, the cumulative increase could reach 75 to 100 basis points if elevated crude prices persist. The forecast also holds that the 10-year Indian government bond yield will remain in the 7.0-7.2 per cent range through the remainder of FY27. This signals a potential shift in monetary policy in response to global economic trends and domestic inflation pressures.
