India's Foreign Exchange Reserves Decline for Fourth Consecutive Week to $734.6 Billion
India's foreign exchange reserves declined for the fourth consecutive week, falling to $734.6 billion from a September 4 peak of $785.71 billion, a drop of about $50 billion. The Reserve Bank of India has intervened by selling dollars in the spot market and using FX swaps to support the rupee, which weakened amid pressures from elevated oil prices, rising US Treasury yields, and increased foreign equity outflows. On Wednesday, the rupee fell nearly 0.5% to 96.8450 per dollar, nearing its all-time low of 96.96.
