Despite global turmoil, inflation to stay below 4% target: MPC member
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel New Delhi: A worsening geopolitical situation since the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting earlier this month has heightened the upside risk to India's inflation trajectory, on account of increases in oil and fertiliser prices , said Ram Singh, a member on the despite the upside risks, he expects the Consumer Price Index (CPI)-based inflation to stay below the 4% target."This (geopolitical situation) can put pressure on the INR, adding to the risk of imported inflation. To address unexpected developments on the external front, we adjusted our stance to neutral. Moreover, our foreign exchange reserves (about $700 billion) provide a significant cushion," Singh told by the World Bank forecast and the S&P commodities index, global commodity prices are expected to remain stable, except for gold and oil, he said."Food inflation is also likely to follow a downward trajectory. All considered, I expect CPI inflation to stay below the target level of 4%," said Singh, who is director of the Delhi School of retail inflation hit a 75-month low of 2.8% in May, driven down by a steep fall in food said the Reserve Bank of India has a range of monetary, liquidity, regulatory and forex market tools at its disposal to maintain macroeconomic and financial stability in an unlikely scenario of a deteriorating geopolitical situation causing stress on the financial market and putting pressure on the June 6, the RBI governor Sanjay Malhotra -headed six-member MPC reduced the lending rate by 50 basis points (bps), taking the total reduction to 100 bps in 2025 so far. It also changed the policy stance to neutral from accommodative.A basis point is a hundredth of a percentage said he did not believe the monetary policy had moved too quickly over the past six months or so, at a time of increasing global uncertainty. "There was a need for a big cut. Demand for mid-size housing and urban consumption remains subdued. Private investment also remains tepid, despite the massive capex undertaken by the Centre. The capex to net surplus from operations ratio remains below the pre-Covid had backed the rate cut, as per the minutes of the MPC released last also pointed out that given the headline inflation forecast of 3.7% for 2025-26, at the current policy rate (6%), the real repo rate turns out to be 2.3%, significantly higher than what would qualify as a growth-supportive to the Covid-19 effect, the average r* (r-star or neutral real interest rate) estimated for India had increased to 1.65% for the fourth quarter of 2023-24 from 1.2% for the third quarter of 2021-22, he said."Now that the Covid-specific factors - elevated public debt and pent-up demand - are behind us, the neutral rate has likely headed toward pre-Covid levels. This gives us scope for a 75 bps rate cut in this cycle," Singh reasoned."Factoring in the global economic and geopolitical uncertainty, a 50-basis-point rate cut in this cycle was reasonable and highly desirable," he said, adding that limited space for rate cuts does not mean that no more rate cuts are possible in this further said, "Having reduced the repo rate by 100 bps, we must carefully assess the macroeconomic situation for additional cuts before proceeding with further cuts, given the elevated risks emerging in the external sector."On the surge in bond yields after the MPC's decision, he said a part of the elevated bond yields for 10-year and longer-duration treasury bonds partly reflect the strong prospects for future GDP (gross domestic product) growth."The overall steepening of the yield curve is also a reflection of the bond market's overreaction to the change in the stance," he said, adding that the bond market would prefer a situation where it can expect more rate cuts. An alternative course would have been a staggered rate cut, but given the subdued credit growth rate and private capex, it would have further delayed the materialisation of demand and investment decisions in anticipation of future cuts."By contrast, a front-loaded 50-bps cut in the policy rate is likely to help achieve the twin objectives of supporting demand and growth by reducing the cost of funds for borrowers," he said, pointing out that since the MPC decision there has been some (about $5 billion) outflows by foreign institutional investors from the bond market, resulting in hardening of yields and steepening of the yield curve."Our rate cut decision is fully justified, coming on the back of strong fundamentals and a stable outlook on the domestic fronts, including fiscal prudence and a benign inflation forecast," Singh said.

Hyundai Motor's exports from US plant plunge amid tariff woes
Seoul: Hyundai Motor's vehicle exports from its US plant plunged last month, industry data showed on Sunday, as the company accelerates production realignment strategies to cope with rising tariff tensions. Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama (HMMA), a U.S. production unit of the South Korean automaker, exported just 14 vehicles in June, a sharp decline from 1,303 units in the same month last year and 2,386 in May, according to the data, reports Yonhap news agency. It marked the first time HMMA's monthly exports fell below 100 units since April 2020, during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. HMMA exported a total of 22,600 vehicles last year. Industry insiders attributed the sharp decline to Hyundai's production realignment strategy aimed at mitigating the impact of Washington's tariff policies, which impose a 25 percent duty on all imported vehicles. Hyundai Motor, which exported 637,000 vehicles to the United States last year, is reportedly considering redirecting U.S.-produced vehicles to the domestic market instead of exporting them overseas. To reduce tariff exposure, the company has earlier announced plans to boost U.S. production capacity by expanding output at its Alabama and Georgia plants to meet local demand. At the same time, it will scale back production of U.S.-bound models at Kia Corp.'s plant in Mexico. "In order to minimise the impact of U.S. tariffs, we have implemented measures to shift Tucson production from Mexico to HMMA and moved HMMA's Canadian-bound production to Mexico," a Hyundai official said during an earnings call in April. In line with that shift, Hyundai shipped around 2,100 units of the Tucson crossover from Mexico in February, but that number dropped to 522 in March and has remained at zero since April. Meanwhile, South Korea's automobile exports declined slightly in April from a year earlier, largely due to a sharp drop in shipments to the United States following Washington's imposition of steep tariffs on foreign-made cars, government data showed. The value of outbound shipments of automobiles came to US$6.53 billion last month, down 3.8 percent from a year earlier, according to data from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. By region, exports to North America tumbled 17.8 percent on-year to $3.36 billion, with shipments to the U.S. plunging 19.6 percent to $2.89 billion.

Why is so much money suddenly coming to India from THESE countries, and who is sending it?
Image for representational purposes New Delhi: Due to the depreciation of the Indian rupee, the Indians living in the Gulf countries like the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia have increased remittances back to India. It is important to note that the rupee has weakened against the AED (UAE's currency), with one AED now valued at approximately Rs 23.5 — the lowest since the beginning of April. The fall in the rupee's value has prompted Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) to quickly send money home. There has been an increase in AED-INR transactions since June 19. Officials at currency exchange houses say NRIs are no longer waiting for further depreciation. Those who have even a small amount of money are remitting it immediately. A senior official at a UAE exchange house told Gulf News, 'Last Thursday was the best day in recent weeks to send money through AED-INR.' He also mentioned that although the rupee briefly strengthened to 23.46, most NRIs continued to remit funds. Remittances Usually Dip in June Remittances generally decrease in June. This is because many Indians spend on travel and other expenses during the summer holidays. However, this year, the pattern has changed due to decrease in the value of rupee. Remittance volumes remained steady even over the weekend and are expected to stay strong through Monday. Officials from exchange houses say that if the rupee remains weak or falls further in July, it will benefit those sending money. One official said, 'If the rates stay at this level or drop again, it will be a double advantage.' Growth Seen Despite Geopolitical Uncertainty It is important to note that the growth has come despite geopolitical uncertainty, including the conflict between Israel and Iran. Typically, such events lead investors to turn to the US dollar as a safe haven. However, this time, gold has played that role. In simple terms, the decline in the value of the rupee has proven beneficial for NRIs. They are able to send more rupees to India while spending fewer AED. As a result, they are taking advantage of this opportunity and remitting more money home.
