The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Deputy Governor Poonam Gupta on Wednesday said that there is a fair case for the rupee to not just stabilise but even appreciate from current levels, as the currency's 13.1 per cent depreciation over the past one-and-a-half years appears to be a temporary phenomenon. If anything, there seems to be a fair case for the rupee to not just stabilise but perhaps even appreciate from the current levels, as was being anticipated by the market analysts when the capital flow measures were first announced, she said. Put together, these arguments indicate that one may think of the cumulative depreciation of the INR (or shall one say its overcorrection) in the past year and a half to be a temporary phenomenon, she said. With the RBI remaining committed to ensuring orderly conditions in the foreign exchange market, and having the wherewithal to meet decades worth of CAD, or the net BOP deficit, the current market dynamics do not appear especially well-founded.

INR slides as oil prices resurge on US -Iran tensions

The Indian rupee fell sharply on Thursday morning in Asia as oil prices surged back following tensions between the US and Iran at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) after Trump stated that Iran faces a choice of diplomacy or total destruction. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian too maintained a firm stance, saying Tehran would not allow freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz while sanctions and a US blockade remain in place. INR opened at Rs 95.84 per dollar and hit a low of 95.87 so far during the day. Indian shares are seen opening lower on Thursday after oil prices rose sharply overnight and U.S. bond yields jumped to their highest levels in nearly two decades, raising the possibility of another interest-rate hike from the Federal Reserve this year. The Nifty 50 opened at 23,221.80 and is currently trading around 23,225.95, down nearly 1%. Meanwhile, the BSE Sensex slid over 600 points from its previous close, currently trading near 74,187.70.
