India’s wholesale inflation falls to 1.21% in October signalling deflationary risk

India’s wholesale inflation falls to  1.21% in October signalling deflationary risk
India’s wholesale price inflation (WPI) slid into negative territory at  1.21 % in October 2025, down from 0.13 % in September, according to the Ministry of Commerce & Industry. The decline was driven by lower commodity, fuel and food prices.

The Reserve Bank of India’s inflation-forecasting framework is under fire after its projections missed actual inflation by as much as 0.7 percentage points in the first quarter of FY26 the largest error in nearly six years.

India’s CPI inflation plummets to 0.25%, raising demand concerns
India’s annual retail inflation fell to a record low of 0.25 % . Analysts highlight that while low inflation relieves price pressure, it also signals slackening consumer demand and elevated deflation risks as food inflation dropped sharply into negative territory. 
The subdued numbers may reduce pressure on the Reserve Bank of India to hike rates further, but raise questions about underlying growth momentum.

UBS Sees India as Third-Largest Economy by 2028 Despite Valuation Risks
UBS projects India’s economy will become the world’s third-largest by 2028, buoyed by steady household consumption growth of ~7.9% CAGR. The bank expects real GDP to grow at ~6.4% in FY 27 and remain strong through FY 30. 
However, UBS warns that high equity valuations pose a risk. It rates Indian equities as “Overweight”, but cautions that they trade at a 48% premium versus emerging markets on forward P/E, pointing to possible corrections if macro conditions sour.

Australian Homeowners Worry About ‘Fictitious Wealth’ as Markets Slump

Australian Homeowners Worry About ‘Fictitious Wealth’ as Markets Slump
Economists are warning Australian homeowners that a drop in global equity markets, especially US tech names like Nvidia, could erase phantom gains in property wealth. Despite surging house prices in 2024-25, some argue this ‘wealth’ inflation isn’t backed by real economic growth. 
The concern is amplified by China’s shaky property sector and weak productivity. If equity markets suffer further, household balance sheets could come under stress, raising questions about the sustainability of asset-backed consumption.

US Job Growth Slows in November, Clouds Fed Rate-Cut Expectations

US Job Growth Slows in November, Clouds Fed Rate-Cut Expectations
Job growth in the United States slowed in November 2025, prompting questions about the timeline for a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The deceleration in monthly employment gains has dampened hopes that the Fed could reduce rates in the near term, which in turn is affecting global risk assets. Markets are now watching for upcoming payroll and inflation data, which will shape expectations around monetary policy. The weaker labour report adds to global uncertainty and may ripple through emerging-market equities.

RBI’s Inflation Modelling Under Scrutiny as Manufacturing and Construction Drive Growth

RBI’s Inflation Modelling Under Scrutiny as Manufacturing and Construction Drive Growth
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is facing criticism for persistent overestimation in its inflation modelling, even as industrial growth is driven by manufacturing and construction segments. Analysts argue the central bank’s models have lagged real‑time data, which shows robust activity in infrastructure and factory output but lower than expected price pressures. The critique comes amid calls for updated frameworks that better capture sector‑specific dynamics and supply‑side risks, signalling that policy‑makers may need to refine their approach to inflation forecasting and monetary guidance.
