Charlie Bilello: India and Russia cuts interest rates

Central banks in India and Russia have made notable adjustments to their interest rates, reflecting differing economic strategies.
India has reduced its interest rates for the third time this year, with a 50 basis points cut bringing the rate down to 5.50%. This move indicates the government's commitment to encouraging economic growth amidst global uncertainties. Meanwhile, Russia has implemented its first rate cut since 2022, decreasing its rate by 100 basis points to 20%. This substantial reduction signals a potential shift in monetary policy as Russia navigates its economic challenges.
These decisions by India and Russia's central banks underscore the varied approaches countries are taking in response to global economic conditions, showcasing the dynamic nature of monetary policy.
