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

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.

Foreign #investors have pulled out over ₹2.5 lakh crore from the Indian markets in 2022. Looking at the way things are going, this month could be the worst ever in the history of Indian markets.

Currencies all over the world have witnessed significant volatility in the past few months. However, if you compare the volatility in the value of #rupee with that of other leading currencies in the world, the rupee has been amongst the best performers, experts say.

“The #RBI has been intensively intervening in the currency markets. There has been a fall in the forex reserves by almost $45 billion. The central bank has also used the reserves for crude import payments too,” Heena Naik, research analyst – currency, Angel One, told @BiIndia.

Essentially, given that India has a trade deficit – its imports are higher than exports – the value of the #rupee will continue to decline. It is the decline that needs to be managed and experts believe that the value of the rupee could remain between 76-80 per #dollar.

Experts say that emerging markets like India have faced the brunt of errors by the central banks of developed markets like the #US. While all of them believe that better days could be ahead of us, they are awaiting the outcome of the US #Fed meeting in July.

The 10-year yield curve in the #US has started to invert, and once that is complete, FII flows could turn positive. This will give a boost to the markets but this could take 3-4 months. Until then, the Indian markets will continue to flirt with the #bearmarket territory.
