    US industrial production moderated to 0.4% in Aug’23 (est. 0.1%) from 0.7% in Jul’23. Preliminary reading of consumer sentiment index too weakened to 67.7 in Sep’23 from 69.5 in Aug’23. Inflation expectations of consumers for both long-term and short-term also eased markedly in Sep’23. The data has bolstered views that the Fed is likely to leave interest rates unchanged when it meets next week. However, markets will await for cues from the Fed’s dot plot to assess the future course of rates. Apart from Fed, central bank meetings in UK and Japan will also be closely watched. Central Bank decisions in EM countries such as Brazil, Taiwan, Indonesia etc, are also due this week. In India, investors will continue to monitor the growing risks to inflation from erratic rainfall and higher oil prices.


    Global indices ended mixed. Investors remained cautious ahead of the Fed policy decision. There is expectation that another rate hike may be reflected in the dot plot for this year. S&P 500 and Dow Jones fell the most. Asian stocks such as Nikkei and Hang Seng inched up tracking upbeat data of China. Sensex rose by 0.5% led by auto and technology stocks. However, it is trading lower today, while other Asian stocks are trading mixed.

    In line with market expectations, the Fed kept its policy rate steady at 5.25%-5.5%. However, Fed’s projection indicate the possibility of another 25bps rate hike this year. The projections also suggest a modest 50bps rate cut next year versus 100bps projected in Jun’23, implying that rates are going to be higher for longer. Growth projections for 2023 and 2024 were revised up to 2.1% (from 1.8%) and 1.5% (from 1.1%) respectively. Inflation is expected to moderate, and will reach the Fed’s target of 2% only in 2026. Separately, inflation in UK edged down to an 18-month low of 6.7% in Aug’23, (est. 7%) from 6.8% in Jul’23. This has raised the possibility that the BoE may not hike rates when it meets today.


    Except FTSE (higher), global equity indices ended lower. Fed’s hawkish pause impacted market sentiments. Further, 12 out of 19 Fed officials expected fund rate to rise again in CY23. Thus, anticipation of some liquidity tightening impacted equity market outlook. S&P 500 fell the most followed by Nikkei. Sensex fell by 1.2%, dragged down by real estate, metal and banking stocks. It is trading further lower today, in line with other Asian stocks.

    Sell-off in global bonds and equities continued amidst the increased possibility of higher for longer US rates. US 10Y yield rose to its highest since Oct’07. Separately, Bank of England paused its rate hike and kept rates steady at 5.25%, with a 5-4 majority. It noted that inflationary pressures have eased, and impact of rate hikes has been felt on growth and labour market. In contrast, core CPI inflation in Japan rose by 3.1% in Aug’23 (est. 3%), staying above BoJ’s target for 17-straight months. Even so, BoJ maintained its ultra-dovish policy. Flash PMIs for Japan indicated a sharp drop in manufacturing activity. Services PMI too moderated to an 8-month low. JP Morgan has decided to include India’s g-sec bonds in its emerging markets index (GBI-EM) from 28 Jun 2024 for 10 months. Government bonds worth US$ 330bn are said to be eligible. This would help in garnering much needed foreign inflows and should support INR and bond yields.


    Global equity indices ended lower. Market remained cautious tracking major central bank policy decisions where both Fed and BoE walked on the same lines of hawkish pause based on underlying growth, inflation mix. S&P 500 and Nikkei fell the most. Sensex fell by 0.9%, dragged down by banking and auto stocks. It is trading higher today, while Asian stocks are trading mixed.

    Flash PMIs for major economies show that services activity in the US slowed unexpectedly, while in UK it continues to weaken further in Sep’23. In Eurozone, while Germany’s activity contracted at a slower pace, it accelerated in France. UK’s retail sales data also confirmed weaker than expected improvement in Aug’23 (- 1.4% YoY versus est.: -1.2% and -3.1% in Jul’23). In case of manufacturing, Eurozone (led by Germany and France) and UK, continue to show signs of stress as per flash PMIs for Sep’23. Activity in US also declined, albeit at a slower pace. These data points pose a challenge to Fed’s higher rates for longer period policy. On the domestic front, progress of southwest monsoon has been 6% below LPA and Kharif sowing has been slightly higher by 0.3% compared to last year.
