MUMBAI:

The Reserve Bank of India continues to watch the progress of monsoon to assess the overall impact on inflation as well as global developments, governor Raghuram Rajan said on Thursday. The comments come amid rising market expectations for a rate cut at the RBI's next policy review on Sept. 29 after consumer inflation eased to a record low in July. Rajan, at an event organised by State Bank of India, added markets were reflecting the 75 basis points in rate cuts so far this year better than banks.
