Key Quotes:
“After all the volatility caused by global and domestic factors, September turned out to be a better month for the INR as bigbang fiscal stimulus including $20 billion of corporate tax cuts buoyed portfolio inflows into local equities.”
“However, two single-day spikes in the USD/INR rate – first, 1.4% following the release of 2Q19 GDP report showing a six-year low 5% growth, and second, 0.9% after the attack on Saudi oil facility causing a steep surge in oil – reinforced INR’s vulnerability.”
“With the RBI on an easing binge, worries about a blow-out fiscal deficit hurting investor confidence, and the government’s plan of borrowing overseas getting shelved, sustained INR weakness ahead remains the safest bet for now.”
