Money Market Update

The Indian rupee advances for the first day in five amid a rebound in equities, and as a weaker dollar supported emerging Asian currencies. The benchmark 10-year sovereign bond closed little changed, but yields fell on shorter-maturity notes.

  • Weaker USD also supported the rupee; inflows pertaining to IPOs worth 87b rupees from Power Grid and Wellness Forever could cap any sharp decline past 75.50 levels
  • RBI’s actions will be closely monitored above 75.00 levels to see to what extent the central bank is comfortable with the currency’s weakness
