  • · The Rupee, although appreciated after the more-than-expected central bank hike in Repo rate (50 bps) and CRR (25 bps), lost its ground ending weaker after the RBI governor announced withdrawal of special open market operations with oil companies, which could lead to higher future Dollar demand. USD/INR pair ended at 42.63 from 42.54 yesterday.

  • · The 6 - month and 1-year forward premium was at 5.19% and 4.27% as compared to 4.69% and 3.88% yesterday.

  • · The Sterling weakened against the Dollar, after trading at firm levels, due to an all time low in retailers’ sentiment according to a survey by Confederation of British Industry. EUR/USD was at 1.5708 from 1.5750 yesterday and GBP/USD was at 1.9872 from 1.9865 yesterday. USD/JPY was at 107.81 versus 107.70 yesterday. *
