✅Gs-3 : Economic Growth
🅾️This is an important topic in prelims phase- Impact of FED rate cuts on Indian economy.
🅾️What can happen?- Lower US interest rates may lead to increased capital flows into emerging markets like India, as investors seek higher returns. This could lead to an appreciation of the Indian Rupee.
🅾️Inflation-As the Rupee strengthens, the cost of imported goods, particularly crude oil, could decrease. Since India imports a significant portion of its oil, this could help in controlling inflation.
🅾️ Indian equities could see a surge as foreign investors might find Indian markets more attractive due to relatively higher returns compared to the US. This could lead to an overall bullish trend in the stock market.
🅾️Lower global interest rates can spur investment in India, boosting economic growth. This is especially crucial for sectors that are interest-sensitive.
