India's Forex Reserves Increase by $7.26 Billion to $674.19 Billion in Early July
India's foreign exchange reserves rose by USD 7.26 billion to USD 674.19 billion in the week ended July 3, driven by increases in foreign currency assets and gold reserves, according to Reserve Bank of India data. Foreign currency assets grew by USD 4.51 billion to USD 545.58 billion, while gold reserves increased by USD 2.67 billion to USD 105.21 billion. Special Drawing Rights and the reserve position with the IMF also saw marginal gains. Despite this weekly rise, total reserves remain below the record high of USD 728.49 billion reached in February 2026, impacted by earlier market pressures and RBI interventions. Experts note early signs of inflows from RBI's recent measures to attract foreign capital, though a clearer assessment is expected later in the year.
