The Rupee is in a free fall against the US Dollar.

However, the RBI is intervening to cushion INR's fall.

Ever wonder how the RBI does it?

Let's learn it here:

#USDINR #USD #forex #India #Rupee

First, let's understand why RBI intervenes to defend the rupee in the first place.

A weak currency worsens our fiscal deficit, fuels inflation and slows down international trade.

Clearly, RBI has a mandate to improve the situation on behalf of the GoI and the citizens of India.

Forex market is highly volatile and a breeding ground for speculators. This is why the FX market is the most liquid in the world with around $7.5 trillion (with a T!) in daily turnover.

So, RBI has to control speculation in the USDINR segment to ensure stability of the Rupee.

@investifypk

Pakistan's economy is in a dire state, with structural inflation and devaluation of the rupee leading to a crisis for the current political government. 🧵👇

The country is facing challenges both domestically and internationally, with a lack of dollars and a high policy rate environment only adding to the difficulties.

In this chaotic situation, speculators and profiteers have taken advantage, creating a black market for dollars where people are paying a premium price.

By @jainrounak

IT services major #Wipro today reported a 12% decline in its #profits to ₹2,717 crore in the first quarter, as against ₹3,087 crore in the previous quarter.

The IT company’s revenues grew 3% sequentially to ₹22,001 crore in the same period, in line with analyst expectations.

Offering guidance for the September quarter, #Wipro said it expects IT services business revenue to be in the range of $2.82-2.87 billion, which translates to a sequential 3-5% growth.

However, Wipro CEO and MD Thierry Delaporte said the company is “pleased with the outcomes”.

It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to take stock of the week so far, draw on reserves, and soldier on (and uncover some facts while at it). Today, we dissect the RBI’s recent move to allow & encourage #foreigntrade payments to be made in INR. (1/8)

It’s a long-term plus for the Indian #economy and good news for the long-term investor. So, grab that coffee from the break room, and let’s delve into the long and short of it. (2/8)

The #RBI recently issued a circular that detailed an ‘additional arrangement’ for invoicing, payment, and settlement of #exports and #imports using the Indian #rupee as currency. (3/8)

The #Rupee falling doesn't just make your shopping more expensive when you travel abroad but impacts the entire Indian economy 🇮🇳

Here are some sectors it impacts 👇

Positive Impact ➕

IT 💻
Garments 🧥
Tea 🫖
Steel 🏗️

Companies in these sectors can expect to see profits rise as they are heavy exporters 📈

Negative Impact ➖

Renewable Energy ☀️
Automobile 🚗
FMCG 🛍️
Aviation ✈️
Telecom 📶
Cement 🧱

Companies in these sectors can see a significant rise in their costs as they depend a lot on imports which are crucial for their business models leading to a decrease in profits 📉

#Rupee has fallen far lower Vs #Dollar,comparatively👇

Euro,2 days ago,went below $1 for 1st time in 20yrs,reflecting big weakness in #Euro

Rupee,displaying strength,has risen big time against Euro,Pound &Yen💪

So #Madarsa dentists from Congress should stop lecturing on Rupee

@narendramodi

@narendramodi govt in a landmark measure has allowed international trade settlement in #Rupees

Explained👇
When countries import&export goods&services,they have to make payments in foreign currency

Since US Dollar is world’s reserve currency,most trades are entered into in USD

Here,both parties involved have to incur conversion expenses&bear risk of foreign exchange rate fluctuations

This is where trade settlement in Rupee comes in-instead of paying &receiving US Dollars,invoice will be made in Indian Rupees if counterparty has #Rupee Vostro account

Decoded: How the #Rupee trade settlement is tied to India’s trade deficit and forex reserves

businessinsider.in/finance/news/w…

By @jainrounak

India is a trade deficit country, meaning it imports more than it exports — this forces the country to maintain large forex reserves. The ongoing pressure on the #Rupee and its decline against #dollar pushed #RBI to put in place a mechanism to allow international trade in rupees.

Since India is a net importer – with its imports exceeding exports by over $87 billion in 2021-22 – and the value of Indian #Rupee declining consistently, #RBI’s latest decision to allow international trade in rupees is expected to reduce the pressure on India’s forex reserves.

Explained: International trade settlement in #Rupees and why #RBI is doing it

businessinsider.in/finance/news/w…

By @jainrounak

#RBI’s efforts to keep the #Rupee stable and cut down the use of the US Dollar – a decades-old habit that most of the world seems unable to shake off – has seen an earnest beginning with the central bank now allowing invoicing of international trade in Rupees.

#RupeeVsDollar

What is international trade settlement in #Rupees?

When countries import and export goods and services, they have to make payments in a foreign currency. Since the US Dollar is the world’s reserve currency, most of these transactions are entered into US dollars.

Today is #WorldPopulationDay, which reminds us that while #ElonMusk is determined to contribute to increasing the population, he has also managed to upset the existing one, by backing out of the Twitter deal. Good thing that the markets were more stable, than Musk’s mood. 1/7

Talking about the “impending recession” seems to be the trend. So, it was a surprise last week, when both the #Sensex & the #Nifty went ↑ by almost 3%. Potential reasons? Maybe the cooldown in the prices of #commodities. This helps sectors like #Auto, #Realty, & #FMCG. 2/7

So naturally, both the #NiftyFMCG & #NiftyRealty were ↑ over 5%. #NiftyAuto was also ↑ 3.5%. In fact, every sectoral index was painting the town green. Global indices were also mostly up. The S&P 500 was ↑ 1.94% & the #NASDAQ100 ↑ by 4.6%. 3/7

#RBI kept the #Rupee ‘exceptionally’ stable so far, and the tide could turn for the better say experts

businessinsider.in/finance/news/r…

By @jainrounak

A looming global #recession, unprecedented #inflation and a strengthening US dollar has forced central banks around the world to use their forex reserves to keep their currencies from falling. The #RBI has done an ‘exceptional’ job of keeping the rupee stable so far, experts say.

Indian markets have remained relatively strong as compared to peers like #Indonesia and #Brazil. Much of this is due to the strong buying by domestic investors even as foreign investors continued to pull out record money from India.

Congressi trolls who know nothing about Economy,are giving gyaan on #Dollar& #Rupee

Yes Rupee hit 77.40 to a Dollar,but,but..

Every major currency has hit lows against Dollar

China's Yuan hit 2yr low@ 6.7 to $
Euro hit 5yr low@ 1.04 to a $

#DollarIndex hit 20yr high at 104.07

Some Business News anchors are saying Rupee has fallen against Dollar because our monthly #TradeDeficit is hitting $20bn&our Current Account Deficit(CAD),will be 3%

Well,$20bn a month Trade Deficit is no big deal for us,given that our Goods+Services Exports are a massive $670bn

@narendramodi

2.5-3% CAD for an economy growing at average of 7.5-9.5% is not a big deal either

In fact,in last 8yrs,average CAD under @narendramodi govt has been sub 2%,so we have enough leeway on that count

Why then are major Currencies falling against Dollar?

Well,reason is,Fed Rate Hike

Indian Rupee falls to all-time low against US dollar 😲

What does it mean for Common Man? ⤵️

#Rupee #stocks

The primary impact of rupee depreciation is on country's imports, as it becomes more expensive.

This is because it takes more rupees to pay for the same quantum of imports.

Also, this has direct impact on your monthly budget.⤵️

- Cost of your necessities-

Crude oil, fertilizers, medicines and iron ore, which India imports in large quantities will get costlier with fall in rupee value

Though these items are not for your daily consumption, they still have impact on our finances.

How?⤵️

Q: Why does it feel like everything's falling apart since Ukraine ?
A: Things were already pretty bruised. Ukraine has ripped the band-aid off 1/n

Link to my story : thewire.in/economy/the-uk…
#UkraineRussianWar #India @thewire_in

Inflation is now a full-blown problem. Estimates indicate that EVEN if the central government were to cut fuel taxes average CPI inflation for FY’23 could shoot past the RBI’s plimsol line of 6.0%. #inflation #Crude #India #UkraineRussianWar

Growth is now also in question. ICRA sees “large downside risks” to its 8% GDP target. Nomura says there’s downside risks to their GDP growth outlook (7% for 2022), HDFC’s GDP growth forecast might see a further downward revision to 7.3-7.5%.

So biggest casualty of #Fed warning on #US #economy y'day, was #Gold,which dropped 3% to $1951.90 an ounce,within minutes of #FedMinutes

Silver too fell below $28

Rout was not limited to precious metals--#Nasdaq sold off despite #Apple hitting $2 trillion market cap

#Covid_19

#CrudeOil whipsawed in tight range with #WTI at $42.83

#Fed's take on economic downturn was nothing new&yet markets collapsed

Only asset which saw aggressive buying was US #Tbills,with 10 yr #bond #yield@ 0.665% Vs previous close of 0.685%

#Dollar had its best day in 2 months

So what does y'day's frenzied buying in #bonds indicate?Is the #RiskOn trade over?

Well,not quite--With $9 trillion of excess global #liquidity sloshing around due to coordinated Central Bank rate cuts,since #Covid_19, equities will move up,albeit with severe bouts of volatility
