Macroeconomics for Retail Investors

A practical, India-specific guide to the macro forces that actually move your portfolio: GDP growth, inflation, RBI interest rate policy, the rupee, and global linkages like the US Fed and crude oil. Built for retail investors, first-time demat holders, and salaried professionals who want to read a Union Budget speech, an RBI monetary policy statement, or a GDP print and understand what it means for the Nifty, their EMI, and their FD returns, not just repeat headlines. Uses real Indian data releases, RBI and MoSPI sources, and NSE/BSE market reactions throughout.
