Indian Rupee

Rupee Heads for Biggest Monthly Decline in a Year

Indian rupee headed for its worst month in a year on concern any reduction in bond-buying by the Federal Reserve will curb dollar supply, leaving the Asian currency vulnerable to a record current-account deficit.

The rupee weakened 4.8% this month to 56.53 against US$ as of 10:16 a.m. in Mumbai, the biggest loss since May 2012, It dropped 0.3% today, touching the weakest level since June 29, 2012, and fell 1.6% this week.

India’s balance of payments is under stress, RBI Governor Duvvuri Subbarao said in Ahmedabad yesterday, adding that it is a challenge to attract stable capital flows.
"The shortfall in the current account, the broadest measure of trade, probably widened to a record of around 5% of GDP in the year ended March 31.Global funds have been net sellers of rupee-denominated debt each day since holdings touched a record $38.5 billion on May 21, exchange data show, while they have bought $14.9 billion more of Indian stocks than they sold this year. Asia’s third-largest economy should be prepared for the probability of outflows in 2014 as developed economies consider withdrawing stimulus measure" Governor Subbarao said this month.

3-month onshore INR/USD forwards traded at 57.45, compared with 54.84 on April 30. Offshore non-deliverable contracts were at 57.48 versus 54.54 a month ago. Forwards are agreements to buy or sell assets at a set price and date. Non-deliverable contracts are settled in dollars.

  NASDAQ's Crack Will Rattle Global Equities During the week, the confidence of the bulls got shattered when tech-focused US companies crashed rattling the entire financial markets.

Given that US elections are only 52 days away, it seems unlikely that US markets will make fresh highs again and there is every likelihood that selling pressure may continue even in broader markets.

In contrast surprisingly, gold's move is not hinting at any major crash in the financial markets, given that gold prices consolidated and remained steady even when Nasdaq plummeted. One of the important ways to analyze the psyche of an investor is by measuring mut...
