Weekly Economic Outlook: April 06-April 12, 2026
Let’s start with India. The HSBC India Composite PMI was revised to 57.0 in March 2026, down from 59.9 in February, marking the slowest expansion since November 2022. The services sector continues to do the heavy lifting, while manufacturing is losing some steam. What stands out is that new orders grew at the slowest pace since November 2023, hinting that domestic demand is easing. At the same time, export demand is picking up, which is a positive sign.

Could companies like GAIL (India) and IGL benefit from India's shift to PNG?
When tensions around the Strait of Hormuz disrupted energy flows, India plunged into a crisis, and it exposed a major vulnerability. Nearly 20% of global oil and a significant share of LPG and LNG pass through this passage every day - and India depends heavily on it.

Weekly Economic Outlook: March 23-29, 2026
Last week’s global economic data tells a clear story: growth is slowing, but it’s far from collapsing. Let’s start with Japan, where inflation eased to 1.3% in February 2026 from 1.5%. This is the lowest since March 2022 and, importantly, below the central bank’s 2% target. Core inflation also dropped to 1.6%, while prices declined 0.2% month-on-month for the third straight month. Falling energy costs and softer food inflation are helping here, signalling that price pressures
