Foreign Investors Boost Indian Government Securities Amid Rupee Strengthening and RBI Forward Dollar Position
In early November, foreign portfolio investors increased their holdings in Indian government securities under the Fully Accessible Route by nearly Rs 8,000 crore, supported by a strengthening rupee and easing 10-year government bond yields. The rupee appreciated from 94.90 to 93.74 against the US dollar amid softer crude oil prices and hopes of easing geopolitical tensions. Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of India’s net short forward dollar position of USD 239 billion may limit further rupee gains despite improved capital inflows, as the central bank needs to accumulate dollars to meet swap commitments.
