    Identifying the Next Big Catalyst for India and Other Emerging Markets

    Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], July 10:  As the global financial landscape braces for a pivotal shift in U.S. monetary policy, Raj Shah, a leading finance and investment expert, offers insightful analysis into how this change could open new doors for emerging markets, particularly India.

    “The biggest driver for emerging markets right now is the anticipated pivot in U.S. interest rates,” says Raj Shah. “If  the Federal Reserve begins to cut rates, the U.S. dollar will likely weaken, and that’s a fundamental trigger for global capital to rotate out of the U.S. and into emerging economies.”

    Why the Dollar Matters 

    A weakening U.S. dollar doesn’t just affect interest-bearing instruments; it impacts currency plays, too. “When the dollar drops, emerging market currencies tend to appreciate,”  Raj Shah explains. “So, investors aren’t just looking at gains from equities or bonds, they’re also gaining from favourable currency movements (typically known as “carry trade”). That’s a double win.”

    A declining dollar has historically been a positive signal for risk assets across developing markets. Shah explains that a weaker greenback enhances returns for foreign investors not just through asset performance, but also via currency appreciation.

    This currency appreciation, paired with lower U.S. rates, sets the stage for a broader capital reallocation. “The U.S. simply cannot continue financing its massive deficit at high interest rates,” Mr. Shah adds. “To reduce the cost of funds, rate cuts are inevitable.”

    Leadership and Policy Transition: A Market Catalyst

    U.S. politics may further fuel this trajectory. With Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s term ending next year, speculation over his successor is already influencing market sentiment (As we can see that the US 10-year treasury is already reflecting the same). “ President Donald Trump has openly criticised Powell and is signalling that change is imminent. Markets are forward-looking; they will begin pricing in a more dovish Fed leadership even before the transition,” Mr. Shah notes.

    Moreover, the U.S. inflation curve has started to flatten. “The Fed is holding rates steady largely due to tariff-related uncertainties,” says Mr. Shah. “Once clarity emerges on the tariff front, rate cuts are likely to follow.”

    India: A Major Beneficiary- With Caution

    For India, this shift could mean a surge in foreign inflows. “We can expect a significant uptick in liquidity coming into India and other emerging markets on account of carry trade,” says Mr.Shah. “But it’s not without risks.”

    The key threat? Geopolitical instability. “Any flare-up in the Middle East or elsewhere that drives crude oil prices higher could derail the entire investment thesis for India. Energy costs are a critical vulnerability for our economy.”

    Still, India offers avenues for international investors seeking stability. “With platforms like GIFT City (Gujarat International Finance Tec-City), global investors now have streamlined channels to participate in the Indian growth story while managing their currency risks.”

    Conclusion

    As central banks around the world recalibrate in response to the evolving U.S. rate cycle, the coming months will be crucial for portfolio positioning. According to Raj Shah, now is the time for investors, both institutional and retail, to deepen their understanding of macro trends and prepare to seize the opportunities ahead.
