Capital Markets & Macro Research Support – India-Based Analyst Teams

Capital markets desks, macro strategy teams and multi-asset investors depend on timely, structured market information to support trading decisions, portfolio positioning and daily investment workflows. India-based analysts provide scalable support across markets monitoring, macroeconomic updates, FX/rates commentary and thematic research.

This page outlines how offshore analysts integrate with capital markets and macro teams to deliver reliable, repeatable and analytically sound output.

Why Capital Markets & Macro Teams Use India-Based Analysts

Capital markets workflows are ideal for offshore analyst support because they require:

  • structured daily/weekly updates

  • consistent data tracking

  • meticulous monitoring of events and releases

  • strong written summarisation

  • fast turnaround

  • cross-asset pattern tracking

India’s analyst talent pool brings:

  • strong economics/finance training

  • reliable delivery discipline

  • sharp summarisation skills

  • Excel and data-handling capability

  • early-shift availability for Europe

This makes India-based analysts a natural extension to onshore markets and macro teams.

Markets Monitoring & Daily Summaries

Capital markets teams benefit from structured markets monitoring delivered before the trading session begins.

Analysts can support:

  • daily market summaries (Asia → Europe handover)

  • overnight equity/FX/rates/commodities moves

  • key market drivers

  • top headlines from reliable public sources

  • pre-market positioning and risk tone

  • sector and index snapshots

This provides traders, PMs and strategists with consistent opening context.

FX and Rates Commentary

FX and rates teams rely on short-form, accurate, cross-asset insight. Offshore analysts support:

FX workflows

  • currency performance summaries

  • volatility monitoring

  • tracking central-bank commentary

  • reviewing major FX pairs and drivers

Rates workflows

  • yield curve monitoring

  • front-end vs long-end drivers

  • inflation expectations review

  • rate-hike/cut probability tracking

  • event-driven movements

These deliverables align with trader prep needs and multi-asset investment views.

Macro Research Support

India-based analysts act as an extension of macro strategy teams. Workflows include:

  • summarising major macro releases (CPI, GDP, PMIs, labour data)

  • maintaining economic indicator dashboards

  • compiling central bank previews and summaries

  • analysing macro trends using public datasets

  • thematic macro updates

  • tracking policy developments across major economies

Outputs can be aligned with your internal macro templates.

Thematic & Cross-Asset Research

Strategists increasingly focus on thematic analysis to guide investment thinking. Analysts support:

  • thematic deep-dives

  • cross-asset commentary

  • identifying narrative shifts

  • reviewing sector and macro drivers

  • long-term trend analysis

  • country risk snapshots

This helps PMs and strategists maintain continuous awareness of key global trends.

Trading Floor Prep Packs & Intraday Monitoring

Market-facing teams require structured prep and intraday support. Offshore analysts can deliver:

Trading-floor prep packs

  • key overnight moves

  • top stories

  • rates, credit, equities and commodities summaries

  • central bank outlook

  • key events for the day

Intraday monitoring

  • tracking market-moving headlines

  • moves in major benchmarks

  • shift in sentiment indicators

  • event-driven updates

This creates consistent support for busy trading desks.

Economic Calendar, Policy & Event Tracking

Analysts can maintain:

  • economic calendar summaries

  • central bank meeting trackers

  • major data releases

  • OPEC/energy policy updates

  • regulatory and geopolitical events

This ensures investment and trading teams have timely visibility of upcoming drivers.

ESG in Macro & Capital Markets Context

While ESG is primarily issuer-level, analysts can integrate:

  • sustainability-linked macro policy updates

  • regulatory shifts around climate and disclosure frameworks

  • ESG-related thematic developments

  • green finance policy commentary

These insights strengthen the depth of macro and thematic coverage.
