Domestic and International Events

• US consumer prices unexpectedly rose in August and underlying inflation accelerated amid rising costs for rents and healthcare, giving the Federal Reserve ammunition to deliver a third 75 basis points interest rate hike next Wednesday.
• Investments by private equity and venture capital funds plummeted 80 percent to $2.2 billion in August, a 19-month low, a report said on Tuesday. The month recorded the highest ever exits at $3.1 billion, making it the best month from sell-offs perspective, according to the report by industry lobby IVCA and the consultancy firm EY
• Foreign investors have stepped up purchases in a clutch of Indian government bonds that have no limits on foreign investment ahead of an anticipated inclusion of Indian debt in global bond indexes, analysts said. The central bank removed foreign investment caps for a number of securities under the ‘fully accessible route’ (FAR) in April 2020 to help meet a key requirement of index providers.
• With retail inflation accelerating to seven per cent in August 2022, economists expect the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to likely raise interest rates by another 50 basis points (bps) in the next monetary policy committee meeting. Barclays Bank’s chief India economist Rahul Bajoria believes that the relatively resilient growth outlook, coupled with robust credit growth and sticky core inflation, will keep the RBI’s focus firmly on managing inflation.
