Developments since June 6 decision show why we need to be cautious: MPC’s Nagesh Kumar

The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) decision earlier this month to tighten its stance to ‘netrual’ from ‘accommodative’ even as it cut the policy repo rate by a larger-than-expected 50 basis points (bps) to 5.50 per cent caught markets off-guard. However, according to Nagesh Kumar, one of the three external members on the central bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), developments since the June 6 rate cut show why policymakers need to be cautious. “Although the inflation numbers up to May are looking very good, with oil prices shooting up due to the Israel-Iran conflict, you never know what is in store. So, a neutral stance allows you freedom to adjust your actions. Since the MPC’s decision on June 6, a lot has changed. We live in a very dynamic world, and that is why we need to be cautiou...

‘Can’t celebrate like Rishabh Pant, or bat like him’: Ex-India players react to viral handspring celebration

Rishabh Pant’s handspring celebration — as much as his 178-ball 134 — was one of the highlights of Saturday’s action in the Headingley Test at Leeds.
