Stock Market LIVE: Will RBI hike rate in Dec?
Stock Market LIVE: Ankita Pathak, Head – Global Investments, Ionic Asset, said that second meeting following the September 2026 rate hike, the US Fed decided to hold the rates steady, signalling a calibrated, data-dependent approach. Overall economic growth and labour markets remain sufficiently strong, giving the US Fed time to focus on price stability for now. December 2026 hike seems likely, aligning with the dot plot published in the last policy. US treasuries yields have softened from extremely elevated levels amid renewed safe-haven demand. Market focus now shifts to upcoming policy decisions from ECB and BoJ, alongside potential volatility ahead of the US midterm elections on November 3, 2026. While both central banks are expected to maintain current rates, any unexpected hawkish shift could pressure the USD. Domestically, the RBI has also decided on a tighter policy and may continue to hike rates in order to curb both inflationary pressures and INR depreciation.
