  • Resumen

  • In this episode of "Please Help Me Understand," we spoke with Suyash Choudhary, Head of Fixed Income at Bandhan AMC, about the potential end of US economic exceptionalism and India's strategic position in this shifting global landscape. As Trump's sweeping tariffs create unprecedented economic uncertainty, Suyash offers a masterful analysis of what's really happening beneath the headlines: - Why the US dollar is weakening during a risk-off period (contrary to historical patterns) and how this represents a potential inflection point in global capital flows - The three pillars of US exceptionalism that are now crumbling: massive fiscal stimulus (deficit expanded from 3% to 6.5-7%), concentrated tech/AI revolution, and strong immigration flows - Why emerging market bond yields to US bond spreads have narrowed to just 200 basis points, and what this tells us about changing investor perceptions of risk - The four critical questions every fixed income investor must answer: Fed policy direction, dollar trajectory, potential Chinese devaluation, and RBI's policy space For India specifically, Suyash explains how two structural advantages position us differently than in previous global downturns: - The transformation from a 2.5-3% current account deficit country to roughly 1%, driven by a "services revolution" that has doubled our monthly services trade surplus - Clean balance sheets across the financial system, with credit risk no longer a macro problem He also breaks down the RBI's proactive policy approach, why India's bond market is increasingly attractive to global investors despite being dramatically underowned (FPI ownership at just ~3%), and how the long end of the yield curve (30-50 year bonds) has transformed from "exotic" to viable. Whether you're a professional investor seeking to navigate these uncertain waters or simply trying to understand what global economic shifts mean for your financial future, this conversation provides essential context and practical insights.
