April 6, 2026 15:53 Sachin Sawrikar, Managing Partner, Artha Bharat Investment Managers IFSC LLP on RBI policy
“ The April MPC comes at a genuinely difficult inflection point. The RBI has already delivered 125 basis points of cumulative easing since February 2025, and transmission is still working its way through the system.
In that context, a pause at 5.25 percent is the only credible call, not because domestic growth needs restraint, with urban consumption stabilising and credit growth holding steady, but because the external environment leaves little room for further accommodation.
Crude prices above $100 pose a clear imported inflation risk, the rupee remains vulnerable amid FPI outflows, and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East add a tail risk no central bank can confidently price in.
April 6, 2026 15:53 Jyoti Prakash Gadia, Managing Director, Resurgent India Limited on RBI policy
The RBI is expected to maintain a status quo and keep the repo rate unchanged at 5.25 percent in the ensuing review meeting.
Although the inflation rate is still below the target range, the current situation of global turmoil is expected to prompt RBI to adopt a Wait and Watch approach at this stage.
The war has led to uncertainty about oil, gas and fertilizers prices as also an adverse impact on the logistics and global supply chain.
This can have vast ramifications for both inflation and growth thereby creating a position of dilemma, suggesting continuation of a pause in repo rate. Moreover, the full transmission of the 125 basis points rate cut since February 2025 is still under process and keeping the repo rate unchanged seems to be a realistic expectation.
April 6, 2026 15:52 Shifting Concerns: A Macro and Bond Update: Suyash Choudhary, CIO – Fixed Income, Bandhan AMC
The West Asia conflict is now more than a month old, despite recurring optimism for a conclusion. The energy shock continues alongside, with concerns rising as inventories deplete.
The supply hit is not limited to energy only but to other commodities as well, both directly as well as indirectly via escalation in transportation costs.
The time spent in the situation so far is forcing analysts, market participants, and central banks to start to think about this as more than just a passing episode.
This is both considering the duration of the shock thus far as well as considering the more permanent damage sustained by key gas facilities in the region that may delay full restoration of supply for a lengthy time frame.

April 6, 2026 14:11 ‘Crude oil surges on geopolitical risk, with Hormuz disruption and upcoming deadlines keeping prices elevated and markets highly volatile’
Justin Khoo, Senior Market Analyst – APAC, VT Markets, writes:
Crude oil markets are entering the week under a sustained geopolitical risk premium, with Brent holding near $107 per barrel and WTI trading close to $112 after gaining nearly 11% last week. The rally is being driven by severe supply-side uncertainty, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, where flows remain deeply constrained, reportedly operating at less than 10% of pre-conflict levels, according to estimates from the International Energy Agency. At this stage, crude is no longer trading purely on macro fundamentals but is instead being dictated by geopolitical timelines and headline risk. The market is effectively pricing in a structural disruption scenario, with limited visibility on when stable and insurable energy flows can resume. Even partial reopening signals are unlikely to fully normalise sentiment unless there is clarity on sustained transit conditions.
The near-term outlook remains highly binary. Any credible de-escalation or confirmed resumption of tanker traffic through Hormuz could trigger a sharp downside correction in crude, alongside a relief rally in global risk assets. However, with the geopolitical deadline approaching and no clear ceasefire framework in place, the directional bias remains skewed to the upside, as any escalation particularly involving energy infrastructure could drive a significant spike in prices and intensify volatility across global markets.
In this environment, oil has effectively become the primary transmission channel for geopolitical risk, and price action is expected to remain highly reactive, with liquidity conditions tightening across asset classes as markets position for potential energy shocks reminiscent of historic supply crises.
