Geopolitical tensions and shifting expectations for Federal Reserve policy are reshaping global financial markets. US-Iran escalations spurred a rise in Brent crude prices and fueled inflation concerns, prompting a slight increase in Bitcoin's value as a potential hedge. Concurrently, the probability of a September rate hike has diminished, reflected in CME FedWatch data. Indian financial institutions are actively participating in the global debt market, with ICICI Bank and Axis Bank recently pricing USD-denominated notes, while the RBI continues to manage liquidity through variable rate reverse repo auctions and Treasury bill auctions.
