Indian rupee depreciates compared to other Asian currencies following intervention by central bank on election result day – News

The Indian rupee faced challenges on Thursday as it failed to gain ground against the US dollar, unlike its Asian counterparts. This was primarily due to dollar demand related to the Indian central bank’s intervention to support the rupee following the unexpected election outcome in the country. The rupee opened at 83.52 against the dollar and lost further ground to trade at 83.54 in initial deals. The central bank had intervened to support the rupee on June 4 after the currency slumped due to a narrow victory margin for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s alliance.

Traders reported that the central bank’s intervention in the one-month non-deliverable forwards, which matured on Thursday, was fueling the increased demand for dollars. While most Asian currencies rose by 0.1% to 0.2%, the rupee was unable to make gains due to the heightened demand for dollars. The dollar index fell 0.3% on Wednesday, and Treasury yields dipped as data suggested a cooling U.S. economy, increasing hopes of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.

The dollar/rupee fix was last dealt at a premium to the daily reference rate released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in the afternoon. This premium indicated heightened demand for dollars, potentially putting pressure on the rupee. However, a senior FX trader at a foreign bank suggested that the RBI might try to manage and limit the weakness in the rupee. The odds of a Fed rate cut in September have risen above 70%, indicating growing signs of weakness in the U.S. manufacturing and job market, according to CME’s FedWatch tool.

DBS Bank noted that the US economy’s cooling trajectory could allow the Fed to implement calibrated easing with two cuts expected this year. This could potentially impact the demand for the dollar and influence currency movements in Asian markets, including the Indian rupee. It will be crucial for traders and investors to monitor the developments in the US economy and the Fed’s monetary policy decisions to assess the potential impact on the Indian rupee. As global economic conditions evolve, currency markets are likely to experience fluctuations, affecting the value of the Indian rupee against the US dollar and other major currencies.

Overall, while the Indian rupee faced challenges in gaining ground against the US dollar due to increased dollar demand related to the central bank’s intervention and global economic developments, it is essential for traders to remain vigilant and adapt their strategies accordingly to navigate the rapidly changing market conditions. As uncertainties persist in the global economic landscape, staying informed and agile in response to market dynamics will be crucial for traders and investors looking to optimize their positions in the currency markets. By monitoring key economic indicators and central bank policies, market participants can make well-informed decisions to manage risks and capitalize on opportunities in the dynamic foreign exchange market.
