INDIA – Fuel Up, Growth Down<\/strong>
India is caught in a straightforward but painful squeeze. Petrol and diesel were hiked for the third time in ten days on May 23, pushing cumulative increases to nearly \u20b95 per litre. ICRA responded by cutting India’s FY27 GDP forecast to 6.2%, with crude oil now expected to average $95 per barrel. The saving grace: India’s Composite PMI held steady at 58.1 in May – marking 58 straight months of private sector expansion. Strong fundamentals are holding for now, but the margin for comfort is shrinking fast.<\/p>

ASIA – Export Engine On, Consumer Engine Off<\/strong>
Asia is running two economies at once. China’s retail sales grew just 0.2% in April – the weakest reading since December 2022 – as automobile sales crashed 15.3% and consumer confidence stayed fragile. Japan told the opposite story: GDP grew at an annualized 2.1% in Q1, beating forecasts on the back of strong exports and rising consumption. The gap between Asia’s two largest economies has rarely looked wider – but analysts warn Japan’s strong quarter predates the Iran war’s full energy cost impact, and rougher months lie ahead.<\/p>

EUROPE – Stagflation Knocks on the Door<\/strong>
Europe is facing its most uncomfortable economic moment since 2022. The European Commission slashed its Eurozone growth forecast to just 0.9% for 2026, with Germany cut to 0.6%, France to 0.8%, and Italy to a fragile 0.5%. The IMF warned a prolonged Middle East crisis could tip Europe into outright recession, with oil prices up 70% and gas still 45% above pre-war levels. The ECB now faces an impossible choice – raise rates and strangle growth, or hold and let inflation embed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
