RBI Increases Market Interventions to Support Rupee Amid Rising External Pressures
India's Reserve Bank has increased its interventions to support the rupee amid rising pressure from higher crude prices and narrowing interest rate differentials with the US. Bolstered by $73 billion in fresh foreign deposits since June, the RBI has shifted to more consistent market interventions, including a $7 billion single-day effort as the rupee neared record lows. This approach has reduced currency volatility to near a ten-month low, though challenges remain due to ongoing external pressures and investor skepticism about the rupee's valuation.
