India's $133 billion cash deluge puts RBI on a more hawkish policy path
Record money sent home by Indians abroad has left banks sitting on extra cash. That pushed overnight rates below the Reserve Bank of India's 5.25 per cent policy rate, even as inflation pressure builds. Markets now expect a tougher RBI stance, and with rising global bond yields, Indian bond yields jumped, unsettling investors. If you hold loans or investments, watch rate moves closely.
