Rupee gains on hopes of quick reforms in India


The performance of the bhartiya janta party (BJP) in the state elections bodes well for the Indian economy and Indian stock markets. Reforms have been started as diesel prices have been deregulated. Returns from investment in Indian stock markets will easily outpace returns from gold in India. Stability should result in more foreign inflows in India. Rupee (usd/inr) had already fallen in the non-deliverable forward market on Friday in anticipation of a BJP win. There is nothing much on the global front. 

A former Egyptian minister has said that crude oil prices can fall to $60 in the near term. Lower crude prices will increases the chances of a delayed interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve next year which should be bullish for gold, emerging market currencies and emerging market stocks. 

Hope and expectation of the people of India for a better life and higher income and higher jobs creation has increased multifold after yesterday’s state results. It is now upto to the NDA government at centre and states to perform beyond people’s expectation particularly in area of job creation.
