Arunasset’s 12-month view on Indian markets can be summed up in one word — Reflation. After two years of disinflation, tight liquidity and elevated real rates, the policy gears are finally shifting toward growth. The Reserve Bank of India’s 50-basis-point rate cut in June, its dovish tone on inflation, and expanding credit all signal a turn to a more supportive monetary environment.
