Key highlights from the Liquidity Monitor |
|
|
|
|
Global yields remain elevated, with the US 10‑year Treasury yield trading near ~4.30%, reflecting sticky inflation and higher oil prices. At the same time, the global trade outlook has weakened as disruptions through key routes, along with higher freight and insurance costs, continue to pressure global supply chains. |

In India, domestic inflation remains well within the RBI’s tolerance band, though rising global risks, especially from crude oil have shifted the policy focus towards stability. CPI inflation edged up to 3.40% in March 2026 from 3.21% in February, driven by higher food prices, while non‑food components such as housing and transport remained relatively soft. |

India’s growth outlook remains resilient, with the country ranking as the world’s 6th‑largest economy in nominal GDP terms as per the IMF’s April 2026 WEO. The lower ranking reflects rupee depreciation and a GDP base‑year revision rather than weaker real activity. India continues to be the fastest‑growing major economy, with medium‑term prospects supported by strong domestic demand and investment‑led growth. |
