CD rates diverge as liquidity surges, rate hike bets rise

Short-term certificate of deposit rates in India are falling due to an increase in liquidity from foreign currency inflows. This surge in liquidity has led to a decline in short-term rates. Meanwhile, long-term rates are rising, driven by expectations of future interest rate hikes. This divergence in rates could make borrowing more expensive for consumers, especially as inflation and global interest rates continue to rise.

Why it matters

The surge in liquidity is supporting the bond market. However, rising rate hike bets could lead to higher yields in the future.
