Fed rate cut positive, but may not have big impact on capital inflows: Top FinMin officials

Economic affairs secretary Ajay Seth sought to delink the Fed rate cut from any potential action by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The Fed has done what it feels to be the best for the US economy and the RBI will be guided more by the domestic reality, Seth said. Separately, chief economic adviser V Anantha Nageswaran said at an event that much of the Fed action was factored in by investors and its impact on India could be more muted than on other emerging economies, as the domestic market has already been generating a lot of investor interest. Economic affairs secretary Ajay Seth sought to delink the Fed rate cut from any potential action by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
