US Fed Hikes Rates to 5.25% in Bid to Tame Inflation | Impact on India Still Unclear
The US Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 0.75 percentage points on Wednesday, the largest increase since 1994. The move is a sign that the central bank is serious about tackling inflation, which is at a 40-year high.
The Fed’s decision is likely to have a number of ripple effects throughout the economy, including in India. It will make it more expensive for businesses to borrow money, which could lead to slower economic growth in India. It will also make it more expensive for consumers to borrow money, which could lead to a slowdown in spending in India.
The Fed is walking a fine line between raising rates enough to cool inflation without raising them so much that they cause a recession. It is unclear how high rates will need to go before inflation starts to come down.
However, the Fed’s decision is likely to have a positive impact on the Indian rupee, as it will make it more attractive for foreign investors to invest in India. This could lead to an increase in the value of the rupee, which would make imports cheaper for Indians.
Overall, the Fed’s decision to raise interest rates is a sign that the central bank is serious about tackling inflation. However, it is also a sign that the Fed is aware of the risks of raising rates too much, and that it is trying to find a balance between cooling inflation and avoiding a recession.
