Recap - RBI cuts repo rate to 5.25% and leaves door open to further easing
The rate cut reinforces a dovish RBI stance, likely pressuring short-end yields and keeping INR biased weaker unless supported by flows. The possibility of another 25bp reduction anchors expectations for a near-term easing peak around 5%, with liquidity measures providing additional support for credit conditions.

PBOC reins in yuan strength, signalling comfort with current level before key policy event
The PBOC’s shift toward a neutral fixing bias implies limited yuan upside in the near term, with authorities seeking to balance investor confidence against export competitiveness. A stable yuan into year-end reduces FX volatility risk but may cap appreciation trades unless macro conditions shift meaningfully.
