RBI MPC Minutes: Malhotra says rate cuts off the table as inflation pressures build - CNBC TV18

The Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee minutes, as reported under this headline, indicate that Governor Malhotra has ruled out near-term rate cuts because inflation pressures are building. The transmission channel here runs through inflation repricing and the rate differential: a hold-or-hike posture from a major emerging-market central bank tightens the outlook for global policy divergence and can shift expectations for the Bank of England, which is among the assets flagged as affected. Sterling-linked and short-dated gilt markets are most exposed, since traders reassessing global easing timelines tend to reprice UK rate expectations alongside moves in other major central banks. Traders should watch the next UK CPI release from the Office for National Statistics, since a print that confirms persistent services inflation would reinforce the case for the Bank of England to keep policy restrictive for longer.

HIGH-impact news is typically a market-moving event with multi-pip or multi-percent intraday reactions. Examples include central bank rate decisions, major CPI/NFP releases, geopolitical shocks, mega-cap earnings beats/misses, and regulatory announcements. Traders typically position-reduce or hedge ahead of scheduled HIGH-impact events, and follow the wire in real time to react to unscheduled ones (war headlines, central-bank emergency statements, surprise corporate actions). The Trading News Terminal squawk box reads every HIGH-impact headline aloud the moment it hits the wire — so active traders don't have to stare at the feed.

Active traders typically follow a three-step workflow when a market-moving headline hits the wire: (1) read the headline on the terminal or hear it on the squawk box; (2) assess whether the news is already priced in (by checking intraday price action in the seconds before) or whether it's genuinely new information; (3) act — either entering a breakout position, fading an overreaction, or tightening stops on existing trades. Trading News Terminal's Pro plan delivers wire-grade headlines within seconds of the source, with automatic audio squawk on every HIGH-impact event, so the read-assess-act cycle never waits on a refresh button.
