India’s fiscal deficit should fall from November onwards. High gold imports in September and October along with Chinese imports for the festival will result in October fiscal deficit to be higher than September. One need not be worried as fiscal deficit will fall from November till March. To me the rise in fiscal deficit if backed by higher imports (excluding gold and energies) is a sign of economic optimism.
The NDA government is now in real action. Policy paralysis will soon be history. The government has shown indication by announcing labour reforms among other things. Good news on Indian economy will in future come in small batches. Apart from global risk, investors and analysts alike are now looking on the positive side of Indian economy. However rupee will be very volatile in the next four weeks.
Stock markets will be the key. Rupee (usd/inr) will weaken if they fall today. Importers will be forced to cover their near term payables if rupee weakens today. There can be massive short covering in usd/inr (inter-bank) if it breaks 62.76 before next Wednesday. Next week is also a shortened trading week due to Diwali. Next Thursday and Friday, Indian financial markets are closed.
