The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday, October 7, raised the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50% from 5.25%, marking the first increase since February 2023. Members of the RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted unanimously to raise rates by 25 bps and in a 4-2 majority to change the policy stance to “calibrated tightening”. It noted that in the current situation, rate cuts are not a possibility in the near term. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra, in his speech, flagged the threat of inflation, citing that global inflation may increase sharply, prompting global monetary tightening. Thus, there could be further hikes or a pause on current interest rates. What happens to FD interest rates? Notably, the RBI's decision does not mean banks will immediately or automatically increase fixed deposit rates. This is because while the repo rate influences deposit rates, banks also factor in liquidity, deposit mobilisation needs and credit demand before revising FD offerings. Overall, a higher repo rate could eventually lead to better interest rates on new deposits as banks work out their costs and try to lure investors. Thus, while the repo rate hike is for 25 bps, the transmission to FD rates may not be for the full 25 bps (or 0.25%), and market participants expect potential benefit only for new or renewed deposits. What should bank FD investors do? New investors or those looking to reinvest can keep a watch over the coming months for any official increase in interest rates of fresh FDs and recurring deposits (RDs) at public and private banks across the country.

Americans grew more confident about keeping their jobs and finding new work in September, while expecting faster household income growth and a lower likelihood of falling behind on debt payments, according to a Federal Reserve Bank of New York survey released Wednesday. The perceived probability of losing a job over the next 12 months fell to 13.5 percent, its lowest level since December 2024. Consumers also reported better prospects of finding another job and a greater likelihood of leaving their current positions voluntarily. The findings from the New York Fed’s monthly Survey of Consumer Expectations showed improvement across several measures of employment and household payment confidence, even as consumers anticipated higher inflation in the near term. The average perceived probability of finding work within three months after losing a job increased to 46.1 percent from 45.4 percent, moving above its trailing 12-month average. The expected probability of quitting voluntarily rose to 19.9 percent from 19.5 percent. Declining job-loss expectations were driven by respondents between ages 40 and 60 and those with annual household incomes above $100,000. The increase in expected quits was driven by those without a bachelor’s degree and respondents above age 40. Consumers also assigned a lower probability to an increase in the national unemployment rate over the coming year. That measure declined to 43.9 percent from 44.4 percent. Households’ expectations for income and spending strengthened alongside the improving employment outlook. Median expected household income growth increased to 3.1 percent, its highest reading since February 2025. Expected spending growth rose to 5.5 percent, the highest since May 2023, with increases across age and education groups. The average perceived probability of missing a minimum debt payment over the next three months fell to 12.2 percent from 13.2 percent, dropping below its trailing average. Inflation expectations increased at shorter horizons. Consumers expected prices to rise 3.9 percent over the next year, up from 3.6 percent in August and the highest reading since May 2023. Three-year inflation expectations edged up to 3.3 percent, while five-year expectations remained unchanged at 3 percent. Despite the improvement in employment and payment expectations, households’ assessments of their finances deteriorated. Larger shares reported being worse off than a year earlier and expected their financial situation to worsen over the coming year—a result likely tied to recent experience with persistent inflation and rising inflation expectations. The survey was conducted September 1 through September 30 among a rotating panel of approximately 1,300 household heads.

With the US midterm elections just weeks away and control of Congress up for grabs, the top Democrat on the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee on Wednesday released a tool tracking inflation under Republican President Donald Trump. "Donald Trump promised to lower costs on day one. Instead, he has spent his presidency creating an affordability crisis, and now he's calling his self-made crisis a hoax," said Ranking Member Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in a statement. "The Trumpflation Tracker will show families across the country exactly how much of a price they are paying for Trump's and Republicans' failed economic agenda." The tracker shows not only cumulative inflation since December 2024, the month before Trump returned to office—it's up 5.2%— but also limited job growth during his second term, the impact of his broken promise to cap credit card interest rates, falling wages since he launched an illegal war on Iran in February, mortgage rate increases, and rising household debt. The tool also highlights the country's affordability crisis, detailing how costs have skyrocketed for childcare, electricity, gasoline, groceries, healthcare, and rent, with the average US household paying over $3,000 more. As Trump rallies behind efforts to build more energy-sucking artificial intelligence data centers, Warren's tracker shows that residential electricity prices are up 12.7% during this term, with the average US household paying $222 more. Last year, congressional Republicans passed and Trump signed a budget package that cut government healthcare programs and did not extend expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies. Now, per the new tool, healthcare costs are up 14.6%. Prices for gas and diesel have skyrocketed since Trump and the Israeli military started bombing Iran, but the US president has dismissed concerns, claiming that paying $4 at the pump is "not very high" and is worthwhile to prevent the Middle Eastern nation from building a nuclear weapon—which the US intelligence community concluded, before the war, that Tehran wasn't trying to do. Warren's tracker puts the gas surge at 43.7% since December 2024, with an average cost of over $750 per household. The senator plans to have the panel's economic experts update the figures on a monthly basis, as more data becomes available. The Century Foundation's president, Julie Margetta Morgan, applauded the committee "for doing the math on this," writing on social media that "the Trump administration continues to claim that the economy is strong, but this tracker shows clearly just how much families are being squeezed."

Minutes from the Federal Reserve's September policy meeting reflect unanimous agreement among officials that interest rates needed to be higher to combat persistent inflation. "Participants generally emphasized that inflation remained elevated while the labor market appeared to be near full employment, with some signs of strengthening, and that economic activity was expanding at a solid pace. Furthermore, almost all participants assessed that, while inflation risks were tilted to the upside, risks to the labor market had diminished and were now broadly balanced," minutes from the Sept. 16 meeting released Wednesday stated. "Based on the outlook and the changing balance of risks, all participants viewed a higher target range for the federal funds rate as appropriate." The Fed voted unanimously on Sept. 16 to raise rates, the first hike in three years. And at the time, most Federal Open Market Committee members saw a need for at least one more 25 basis point rate hike this year. Markets were banking on a hike and expecting more to come. But economic data released in the past few weeks has changed the picture considerably. "Core" PCE, the Fed's preferred inflation measure, rose a relatively cool 3% in August, beating expectations for a rise of 3.3% and marking a drop from 3.3% in July. Meanwhile, September jobs numbers fell far short of economists' expectations, with a gain of just 29,000 jobs, while the unemployment rate edged up to 4.2% from 4.1%. Read more: How jobs, inflation, and the Fed are all related That less rosy jobs picture, combined with a more positive read on inflation, had analysts — and some Fed officials — throwing cold water on the notion of another rate hike this month. "This data won't shift the broader decision-making calculus for the Fed as inflation remains the supreme concern," Chris Hodge, chief economist for Natixis, previously told Yahoo Finance. "But with wages lower and the jobs picture a bit less rosy, it certainly decreases the urgency to hike in October (and perhaps December if inflation data cooperates)." Federal Reserve Board Chairman Kevin Warsh speaks during a news conference at the Federal Reserve in Washington, Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2026. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein) · AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein Even before the September job report, Fed Vice Chair Philip Jefferson and New York Fed president John Williams had already begun to temper expectations for a rate hike later this month. Both struck a more cautious tone than several of their colleagues, acknowledging that inflation has remained too high, but that the central bank should take time to assess whether it's on a downward path. Williams said that, after raising rates in September, he sees "no need for urgency" and that "we have time to gather more information."
