RBI’s Poonam Gupta dropped this truth bomb: strong bonds = credible policy + low inflation + growth that doesn’t rely on debt. Meanwhile, equities are taking a breather, partly because global AI giants are stealing the spotlight. But here’s the twist; equity markets don’t stay down forever. History shows, when the real economy shines (and India’s is), stocks eventually bounce back. Even better? Our current account deficit is under 1% of GDP; one of the lowest among emerging markets. Why? Services exports and remittances are silently propping us up. No flashy ads. No Elon tweets. Just steady, smart economics. If you’re waiting for the next big stock surge, maybe watch the bond market first; it’s already whispering what’s coming next.
