Geojit Financial’s head of research, Vinod Nair said that the Fed will not take a hawkish posture if US CPI inflation declines
The local market’s bullishness was boosted by major global economies reporting lower inflation rates than anticipated and by investors’ heightened interest in IT equities. If US CPI inflation declines to 7.1% in November, the Fed is less likely to adopt a hawkish stance. Although the Fed is widely expected to increase rates by 50 basis points, market moves would be heavily influenced by their remarks on future inflation and rate actions.
