Source: Bloomberg, Axis MF Research. Data as of 31th May 2021

• As Western economies complete vaccination goals, there is the expectation of a global recovery. This is leading to higher

inflation expectations.

• With the US Fed having stated its preference for an average inflation target, there is the expectation that for some period of time,

inflation may remain above the 2% level. This is causing commodity prices to rally.

• This rise in commodities is quite broad based – spread across energy, metals and food. If it becomes entrenched, it could pose

a new challenge for RBI.
