India Expected to Begin Interest Rate Hikes as Inflation Widens, Global Peers Adopt Hawkish Stance

Market observers anticipate the Reserve Bank of India will shift towards rate hikes in the coming period, aligning with global monetary tightening trends. The decision reflects concerns about inflation spreading beyond energy and commodity sectors.
