What happened
The US Federal Reserve raised the federal funds target range by 25 basis points to 3.75-4 per cent. This increase was the first since 2023 and was driven by the Fed's assessment that inflation remained elevated and economic activity was expanding at a solid pace. Concurrently, crude oil prices remained above USD 100 a barrel. These global factors are leading market experts to suggest the Reserve Bank of India consider raising rates by 50 bps.
