Rupee steady before Monday holiday


RBI governor yesterday warned of the spillover effects in the form of another emerging market crisis if and when the Federal Reserve starts to raise interest rates next year. He further said that emerging markets will increase their foreign exchange reserves and also prevent currencies from big gains in the near term. This to me implies that in the short term emerging markets will see huge inflows and the pressure to appreciate for currencies like India. Traders will now take positions for Tuesday due to a Monday holiday. Intraday volatility will rise as result of the same.

India is set to take a major step tow and currency internationalization with World Bank plans to double its offshore rupee bond program to $2 bn and push leading Indian companies to raise global rupee-linked debt for the first time. This implies more inflows into India.
