The growing market wagers about the most aggressive interest-rate tightening in India of any nation in Asia are wrong, according to Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC.

Five-year interest-rate swaps jumped to 5.42% on March 8, the highest in more than a year, reflecting surging expectations of a tighter monetary policy, and were at 5.32% on Monday. “Markets are mispricing quick rate hikes,” said Maneesh Dangi, co-chief investment officer at Aditya Birla.
