EXPERT VIEW: RBI may reassess its accommodative stance in April policy meeting

<< The rate hike by Fed was on expected lines due to high inflation risk coupled with geopolitical tensions.

<< The US treasury yields had shown an immediate spike after the FOMC announcement but stabilized thereafter.

<< The current rate hike along with anticipated monetary tightening indicates the Fed's stance of controlling the high inflation prevalent in the US.

<< Taking this into account, the RBI may reassess its accommodative stance in the next month’s policy meeting.
