UTI Gilt Fund


March 2023
Fixed Income Market Update

 FY23 of policy normalization was largely a period of repricing of bond yields, subpar returns & flattening of the yield curve.

 The global economy faced a concoction of high inflation, unexpected geo-political shocks, aggressive monetary policy
normalization and supply chain disruptions. In India, broader economic activity remained resilient.

 Global inflation expected to moderate in 2023 as base effects dropout, supply chain normalizes and economic
momentum slows down on tight global financial conditions

 The RBI hiked its policy rates by 250 bps during FY23 from 4% to 6.5% while retaining “Withdrawal of Accommodation”
stance.

 RBI could remain on an extended pause and expected to wait for a decisive moderation in the inflation and evaluate
effects of past rate hikes before it pivots.

 Central banks closer to their terminal policy rates; Timing and quantum of rate cuts still uncertain

 Supply of bonds in the new FY24 and an extended pause by the central banks may keep the rates range bound

With global conditions turning benign for fixed income and given the reasonable starting level of real yields,
investors may consider strategies that provide accruals.
