Amidst global uncertainties, India's growth is expected steady. Tanvee Gupta Jain, UBS Chief India Economist said, "Amid rising global uncertainties, we expect India's macro stability risks to remain largely contained in FY26 with 1) headline inflation to decelerate towards 4-4.5% YoY; 2) aggregate fiscal deficit to narrow further to 7.4% of GDP; and 3) current account deficit to remain contained (well below 2% of GDP) despite concerns of regional trade slowdown. We see scope for 75bp of monetary easing in this cycle from early CY25, building in slower domestic growth and lower global rates. Our UBS EM rates strategist forecasts year-end 10-year IGB yields at 6.25% in FY26 (vs. 6.5% in FY25 UBSe). We think USDINR will not be immune to trade tension-driven USD strength (vs. EM peers) and expect year-end INR to reach 87.0 by FY26 (vs. 84.5 in FY25 UBSe)."

According to Axis Securities, 2025 is a year ending in an odd number. More importantly, it is the first year immediately following a US election year. Looking at each of these metrics separately from a seasonality lens shows that Nifty bulls are expected to have the upper hand. A key assumption underlies this view - that Trump's policies will not lead to a bump in the road for US stocks, whose repercussions will undoubtedly have a trickle-down effect on global equities.
