MUMBAI: In what could be a sign of things to come with gushing liquidity
coupled with rising optimism about policy reforms in the country after the
Rajya Sabha approval for bringing in the Goods & Services Act, the Reserve
Bank of India intervened to temper the Indian's Rupee's appreciation versus the
US dollar, said three currency dealers. Expectations are rising that global
investors starved of returns from fixed income investments may raise their
investments into the highest yielding emerging market as government's actions
provides them the comfort of prudent economic policies. "Depending on the
global risk sentiment we could see fund flows into India continuing in the
coming months," said Brijen Puri, managing director, head of markets, JP
Morgan (India). "It would be an opportunity for the RBI to shore up our
dollar reserves, which could be used to moderate volatility in future" On
Thursday, some state-owned banks were buying dollars in early trades on behalf
of the central bank, when the rupee opened stronger by 15 paisa to the
greenback. Later, it pared gains to close at 66.92, up 0.10 per cent from 66.99
on Wednesday. The rupee is now expected to trade in the range of 66.50-67.50
per dollar versus 67-68, seen a few weeks ago, dealers said. The implementation
of GST from next fiscal, though could be inflationary in the short term, may
add to the gross domestic product by as much as 2 percentage point. That
coupled with better tax compliance and higher rates on services could bolster
the government's finances. The perennial fear of government's fiscal being
dodgy could also end. "Unanimous decision to amend the constitution to
pave way for introduction of GST is a big positive and will renew optimism
among foreign investors," MS Gopikrishnan, head of FX, rates and credit
trading at Standard Chartered Bank. "While the rupee market had largely
priced in the amendment, higher inflows from overseas investors should help the
rupee to appreciate."
