MUFG\u2019s Michael Wan highlights India\u2019s strong GDP<\/a> data, with Q1 FY2026-27 growth at 7.8% year-on-year versus 7.1% consensus. Resilient domestic demand, robust credit growth and supportive fiscal policy underpin his view that Indian rates<\/a> are likely to grind higher. The team maintains a trade idea to pay INR 5-year NDOIS as El Nino risks and FCNR(B) closure reinforce the upside bias.<\/p>\n

Growth supports gradual upside<\/p>\n

“Meanwhile, India\u2019s economy grew by 7.8%yoy in Q1 FY2026-27, surprising to the upside by beating consensus expectations of 7.1%yoy consensus.”<\/p>\n

“Resilient domestic demand offset geopolitical headwinds, supported by a 12.1%yoy jump in financial and IT services alongside private consumption rising 7.1%yoy. Private capex signalled some improvement, although a weak monsoon weighed slightly on agriculture activity at 3.6%yoy.”<\/p>\n

“Meanwhile, the broader set of numbers suggest that overall resiliency in the economy, with a pickup in credit growth to 19%yoy.”<\/p>\n

“From a rates perspective, we continue to see INR rates grinding higher, and we have an existing trade idea to pay INR 5y NDOIS (see Pay INR rates post RBI minutes).”<\/p>\n

“Overall we think that with growth remaining robust, early closure of the FCNR(B) measure, credit growth picking up, fiscal policy still expected to be supportive, coupled with a possible strong El Nino moving forward the risk-reward tilts towards rates in India moving higher rather than lower from here.”<\/p>\n
