The Report presents the change in stance of the RBI’s MPC to “Neutral” from “Withdrawal of Accommodation” as establishing the conditions for a rate cut.

The note goes on to present slight risks which are emerging for inflation owing to domestic food pressures and global commodity price volatility.

It concludes with a view on softening yields and steepening yield curve, announcing that a golden era of corporate bonds may be beckoning us.
