MUMBAI - Poonam Tandon, chief investment officer, IndiaFirst Life Insurance, said the following on the Reserve Bank of India's third bi-monthly monetary policy for 2025-26 (Apr-Mar) detailed on Wednesday:
May not see rate cuts unless data allows otherwise, especially weak growth numbers which is when RBI could move. Otherwise it would be status quo.
ON CENTRAL GOVERNMENT BONDS:
Yields on government bonds will be in a range, maybe slightly on the higher side by 10 to 15 basis points. There could be steepness in the yield curve especially after Wednesday's policy and neutral stance. The spread is quite wide. Don't see it widening further on 10x30 (10-year benchmark gilt and the 30-year gilt). End
