Reckitt Benckiser designed products and marketing to lure Indian men to its Durex brand. Now, it is pushing a growth strategy by betting on women and rural consumers. India last year surpassed China to become the world's most populous nation, but still fares poorly on the use of contraceptives. India's government estimates only around 10% of men use condoms and for women, sterilization remains the popular form of contraception. Social stigma surrounding sex — which some say stems from Victorian social norms established during British colonization — has for decades marginalized female pleasure in the Indian society.

Arnab Das, Global Macro Strategist, Invesco, says all the world's big oil consumers are slowing down in a somewhat synchronized fashion, causing some concerns about the demand side of the market.

The US CPI numbers increased 0.2% for the month, in line with the Dow Jones consensus that sets the stage for an expected quarter percent point rate cut from the Federal Reserve in the coming week. Are there any chances for an outsized rate cut given the recessionary fears are back in the US? Arnab Das: Yes, we have and I have been in the 25 bps camp all along; 50 basis points are possible, but is unlikely at this stage. The market was pricing more like 30 bps before the CPI. Although the headline CPI number is fine, the core number is not as good as hoped, and core PCE will maintain that story. We are looking at a 25 bps cut. The Fed has kind of indicated and it is correct to say that it has shifted the focus of its dual mandate from inflation to jobs and the labour market, but it has to keep one eye on inflation and that points to a 25 bps cut.
