Tackling trade tensions
Amit Kapoor | 27 Jun, 2019
|
| The trade war between US and China seemed like a distant conflict to most Indians.

Taponeel Mukherjee | 24 Jun, 2019

The Indian market participants must view this move as an opportunity to improve and strengthen the investment markets in India. Low yields in developed markets and the consequent need for higher investment returns from investors are trends that have been evident over the last decade as quantitative easing by central banks has led to a lower interest rate world. The dramatic drop in developed market bond yields in the previous thirty days further emphasises the renewed focus investors will have on seeking higher investment returns.

Now for the next steps after rate cut
Taponeel Mukherjee | 08 Jun, 2019
|
| The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) rate cut is expected to provide a boost to the economy. Lower interest rates will help in providing support to the economy but are not the sole elixir that India needs. The focus must not be just on the immediate economic issues but on the broader target of implementing changes that have a long-lasting positive impact on the economy.
