Ajitabh Bharti, executive director of Capital XB, said the Federal Reserve’s lack of decisive interest rate moves suggests possible political considerations at play. In a report, he noted that with the U.S. midterm elections approaching, the Fed is prioritizing stability over inflation control in the short term. This dynamic could benefit emerging markets like India in the short run. A relatively weak U.S. dollar may ease pressure on the rupee and provide some breathing room for capital flows and external balances. However, if U.S. inflation persists or reaccelerates due to delayed policy action, the eventual correction could be more severe and disruptive, transmitting volatility to global markets including India.
