SocGen Sees Final 25bps Policy Rate Cut in February by India's Central Bank

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 01/13/26 07:59 AM EST

07:59 AM EST, 01/13/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Indian headline inflation edged up less than estimated to 1.33% in December from 0.71%, which technically leaves scope for one more Reserve Bank of India (RBI) rate cut, said Societe Generale.

The bank believes inflation will continue to inch up from here onward, but doesn't think it will exceed the RBI median target of 4.0%.

SocGen noted its view is for one final 25bps cut in the policy rate in February.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
