Inflation-wary Fed may put IT revival on hold
Indian outsourcing leaders will likely have to wait longer, perhaps until the start of FY26, for a revival in business as the US Federal Reserve could keep interest rates elevated in the world’s largest economy to ensure a lasting victory over politically uncomfortable inflation. High real rates could elevate hurdle rates for companies, potentially crimping growth in discretionary technology spends. “The Fed's hawkish approach is a double-edged sword. Higher interest rates could lead US clients to curtail discretionary IT spending, impacting revenue growth for Indian firms,” said Hansa Iyengar, senior lead analyst for UK-based IT research firm Omdia.
