Chinese military moves in Ladakh needs to be watched closely.


On the global front rupee had weakened in the non deliverable forward market yesterday. The direction of the US dollar will be the key. Month end demand can add to further weakness for the currency

The Chinese president has asked its military to be prepared for a regional war. The situation in Ladakh in Kashmir is precarious with very high chance of a war with China in the coming weeks and months. Incidentally India’s defence minister is in  hospital and the prime minister will go to USA to attend the United nations meeting. Unconfirmed reports suggests that Indian armed forced are unprepared for a sustained war with China. Historically politicians has resorted to war with nations whenever the economy is in downtrend so as to divert people attention from economic woes to war. The Chinese president is no exception to the same. One needs to closely watch Chinese moves. The Chinese premier seems to copy its Pakistani friend. A war with china will negatively affect the rupee and the Indian stock markets.
