Outlook for Short Term Income Fund
Normal monsoons and good rainfall distribution should lead to lower food inflation going ahead and should open up further room for monetary easing.
RBI has indicated that the neutral/real rate of interest is dynamic which is currently around 1.25%, lowering it from an earlier stated 1.50% to 2.00%. This is largely due to globally neutral real rate having come down.
Inflation may be lower going forward. With RBI changing its stance on real rates, we expect another 50 bps rate cut over the next 6 months and the sovereign yield curve should steepen going forward.
This will augur well for BNP Paribas Short Term Income Fund. Investors looking at an investment horizon of 15-180 days should seek exposure in BNP Paribas Short Term Income Fund.
