India's terms of trade went through a Yo-Yo ride last year.<br />
For now, with crude oil suffering a supply-led price fall, the<br />
terms of trade have once again shifted in India's favor.<br />
India's responds to supply shortage led spikes in oil - we<br />
have tried to identify these by measuring oil performance to<br />
copper (both commodities assumed to respond similar to<br />
improvement in global demand). We find that India's USD<br />
equity performance plots directionally against the<br />
oil/copper relative performance (as one would expect).<br />

Whether the 10-year yield's recent peak is the peak of this<br />
cycle will demand primarily on how India's growth pans out<br />
next year. Since we are constructive on growth, to us it<br />
seems that bond yields may have further to rise in this<br />
cycle.<br />
Consistent with the economic cycle, short rates are likely to<br />
move higher albeit with a pause in the coming months given<br />
the benign headline inflation and reasonable real rates.<br />
