    Volatile, Not Irrational: Decoding Today’s Markets | Open Dialogue | Episode 43

    Markets have been volatile for a while and have been moving ever so sharply since COVID. Commodities spike and correct. Bond yields behave counterintuitively. The rupee weakens. IPOs surge. However, despite all this turbulence, most asset classes are not collapsing.In this episode of Open Dialogue, Sameer Shetty speaks with Ashish Gupta, Chief Investment Officer, Axis Mutual Fund, to decode what market volatility really indicates for investors.Together, they discuss the IPO frenzy and listing reality, explaining why not all public offerings deliver long-term value. The conversation also dives into bond market behaviour. Why long-term yields are rising despite policy rate cuts, and what that signals about fiscal trends and demand-supply dynamics.The surge in gold and silver, the risks of speculative flows, and why industrial demand ultimately reshapes price trends are analysed. A thorough overview of real estate momentum, currency pressures driven by capital account shifts, and the evolving role of foreign investor flows also takes place.The conversation makes one thing clear: though the markets are volatile, it’s not irrational. Demand, supply, valuations, and capital flows explain far more than what emotion-driven narratives suggest.This episode offers a structured framework to understand today’s uncertainty and helps investors think rationally about diversification, risk, and long-term asset allocation in an environment that feels more chaotic than it actually is.Speakers:Sameer Shetty: Group Executive, Digital Banking & Strategic Programs, Axis BankAshish Gupta: Chief Investment Officer, Axis Mutual Fund🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe for more expert conversations on India’s economy and markets, only on Open Dialogue by Axis Bank.#OpenDialogue #MarketVolatility #SilverCrash #MacroEconomics #AssetAllocation #IPOInsights #Nifty #FIIOutflows #BondMarkets #InterestRates #GoldRally #Rupee #InvestingIndia #FinancialLiteracySUBSCRIBE TO US: https://www.youtube.com/@OpenDialogueByAxis Download Axis Bank App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.axis.mobileFor more informative videos and discussion on important topics related to Banking, finance & economics:LinkedIn - https://in.linkedin.com/company/axis-bank Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/opendialoguebyaxisbankFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/axisbank/Twitter - https://x.com/AxisBankCopyright:©Axis Bank Limited [2025].

    Budget 2026 Roundtable: Breaking Down the Budget’s Growth and Spending Priorities | Special Episode

    Budget 2026 did not deliver big surprises, and that is exactly where this conversation begins. In this episode of Open Dialogue, the panel discusses why a predictable, “boring” Budget can be a positive signal, reducing uncertainty, lowering the long-term cost of capital, and improving confidence for businesses and investors.In this roundtable, Sameer Shetty, Neelkanth Mishra, and Ashish Gupta examine key themes from Budget 2026, including the end of sharp fiscal consolidation, the improving quality of government spending, and concerns around liquidity as large cash balances remain parked with the RBI. The discussion also explores market reactions, changes to Securities Transaction Tax, and why some headline numbers such as GST collections can be misleading due to accounting shifts rather than economic weakness.The conversation places the Budget in a wider context of global uncertainty, volatile commodity markets, capital flows, and monetary policy, focusing on what actually matters for growth, markets, and long-term economic stability. This episode looks beyond announcements to understand intent, trade-offs, and what to track going forward.Speakers:Sameer Shetty: Group Executive, Digital Banking & Strategic Programs, Axis BankNeelkanth Mishra: Chief Economist, Axis Bank & Head of Global Research, Axis CapitalAshish Gupta: Chief Investment Officer, Axis Mutual Fund🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe for more expert conversations on India’s economy and markets, only on Open Dialogue by Axis Bank.SUBSCRIBE TO US: https://www.youtube.com/@OpenDialogueByAxis Download Axis Bank App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...For more informative videos and discussion on important topics related to Banking, finance & economics:LinkedIn - https://in.linkedin.com/company/axis-bank Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/opendialoguebyaxisbankFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/axisbank/Twitter - https://x.com/AxisBankCopyright:©Axis Bank Limited [2025].

    Yields Over Rates: Why the Bond Market Dictates the Flow of Money | Open Dialogue | Episode 40

The conversation explores the yield curve, inverted yield curve, and how these indicators reveal expectations about future growth or recession.They also discuss how yields connect to credit spreads, fiscal discipline, and financial stability, illustrating why governments, investors, and even central banks watch them closely. From the repo rate in India to the Fed rate in the US, the episode explains how policy decisions ripple through markets — influencing borrowing costs, equity performance, and the broader global economy.This discussion helps you see why bond markets are called the “plumbing” of modern finance and how market expectations reflected in yields can signal what’s next for economic growth.Speakers –Sameer Shetty: Group Executive, Digital Banking & Strategic Programs, Axis BankAshish Gupta: Chief Investment Officer, Axis Mutual Fund🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe for more insights on markets, interest rates, and the global economy — only on Open Dialogue by Axis Bank.#BondMarkets #FinanceExplained #OpenDialogue #AshishGupta #InterestRates #Inflation #YieldCurve #InvestingInsights #GlobalEconomy #MarketTrends #FinancialEducation #EconomicOutlook #MoneyMatters #financialliteracy SUBSCRIBE TO US: https://www.youtube.com/@OpenDialogueByAxis Download Axis Bank App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...For more informative videos and discussion on important topics related to Banking, finance & economics:LinkedIn - https://in.linkedin.com/company/axis-bank Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/opendialoguebyaxisbankFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/axisbank/Twitter - https://x.com/AxisBankCopyright:©Axis Bank Limited [2025].

    Why GST 2.0 Marks a Turning Point in India’s Tax Reform Journey | Open Dialogue | Episode 38

    India’s tax landscape just changed in a big way. GST has been simplified with two main slabs, fewer inverted duties, and clearer pass-through to prices. What does this reset mean for inflation, demand, and growth?In this episode of Open Dialogue, Sameer Shetty speaks with Neelkanth Mishra, Chief Economist, Axis Bank & Head of Global Research, Axis Capital. They trace India’s journey from cascading indirect taxes to GST, why two slabs (5% and 18%) matter, and how rate rationalization can boost consumption without straining fiscal math.Within this framework, they unpack how input tax credit works at the invoice level, why inverted duty fixes reduce refunds and disputes, and how compliance data has unlocked MSME lending. The discussion also explores sector impacts and when consumers should expect genuine price pass-through.Beyond this, they examine what simpler GST means for competitiveness, logistics efficiency, and state finances as compensation cess sunsets. The episode closes with practical takeaways on pricing transparency, demand impulses, and the road to a cleaner, broader tax base.Speakers-Sameer Shetty: Group Executive, Digital Banking & Strategic Programs, Axis BankNeelkanth Mishra: Chief Economist, Axis Bank & Head of Global Research, Axis Capital🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe for more insights on GST, growth, and India’s evolving tax architecture.#GSTReform #IndianEconomy #FiscalDiscipline #ConsumptionBoost #TaxSimplification #MSME#Compliance #InvestmentCycle #Inflation #economicgrowth Chapters:0:00 - Introduction1:45 - History of Taxation in India13:30 - What are Direct and Indirect Taxes?20:09 - Monthly GST Collections25:54 - Innovations in GST48:30 - How the New Tax Structure is Helping Compliance1:00:54 - What Does This Mean for Inflation and Interest rates1:05:11 - What Does This Mean for the Indian Competitive Landscape 1:10:31 - Will Corporates Start Investing More?1:16:33 - ConclusionSUBSCRIBE TO US: https://www.youtube.com/@OpenDialogueByAxis Download Axis Bank App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...For more informative videos and discussion on important topics related to Banking, finance & economics:LinkedIn - https://in.linkedin.com/company/axis-bank Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/opendialoguebyaxisbankFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/axisbank/Twitter - https://x.com/AxisBankCopyright:©Axis Bank Limited [2025].

    RBI’s MPC Member Explains Monetary Policy, Rates, Inflation & Economic Impact | Open Dialogue | Episode 37

    India’s economy is at a turning point. Structural strengths remain intact, but global uncertainty and inflation bring new challenges. How does the Reserve Bank of India balance these pressures while supporting growth?In this episode of Open Dialogue, Sameer Shetty speaks with Saugata Bhattacharya, member of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) and former Chief Economist at Axis Bank. They discuss the origin of MPC and how it shapes India’s economy — balancing inflation and growth through its stance and decisions. Within this framework, the RBI sets the repo rate, manages liquidity, and controls inflation. The discussion also looks at volatile CPI drivers such as onions and tomatoes, and why India needs better food storage and processing. Beyond this, they examine key reforms like GST rationalization, tax cuts, and labour reforms that can improve competitiveness. The episode ends with a focus on shifting savings, where household savings shrink while corporate savings rise, and what this means for investment and growth.Speakers-Sameer Shetty: Group Executive, Digital Banking & Strategic Programs, Axis BankSaugata Bhattacharya: Economist & Member, RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe for more insights on India’s economy and monetary policy.#IndianEconomy #MonetaryPolicy #RBI #Inflation #RepoRate #EconomicReforms #GST #Transmission #Savings #Banking #MacroEconomics #StructuralReforms #Growth #Households #Corporates #AxisBank #OpenDialogueChapters-00:00 - Introduction03:00 - Big Picture: State of the Indian Economy06:42 - Taxation, GST and Economic Reforms10:56 - Factor & Regulatory Reforms16:50 - Understanding the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC)28:36 - How Interest Rates and Liquidity Are Managed38:55 - Forward Guidance, Transmission and Market Impact1:11:08 - Inflation and Food Price Volatility1:14:12 - Savings Shift & Economic Cycles1:24:05 - Closing RemarksSUBSCRIBE TO US: https://www.youtube.com/@OpenDialogueByAxis Download Axis Bank App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...For more informative videos and discussion on important topics related to Banking, finance & economics:LinkedIn - https://in.linkedin.com/company/axis-bank Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/opendialoguebyaxisbankFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/axisbank/Twitter - https://x.com/AxisBankCopyright:©Axis Bank Limited [2025].
