FX reserves stood at USD 595 bn as on Nov 17 th.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>In Nov, FPI\u2019S have bought Rs 811 Cr of Equities and bought Rs 11599 Cr of debt . In\u00a02022-23 fiscal year, FII\u2019S have net sold Rs 27593 Cr of Equities and have net bought Rs 838 Cr of debt.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

USDINR steadily climbed to 83.38 with 83.20 providing support. Demand from Oil importers provided support to USD. RBI seems to have refrained from aggressive intervention.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

Rupee declined modestly despite rally in Crosses. However, decline in Crude prices has removed big threat to Rupee. Focus is now on Q2 GDP.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

Indian Equities traded sideways.<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/p>\r\n

Hedging advise<\/b>: Imports be hedged closer to 83.03. Exports be hedged closer to 83.45.<\/b><\/p>\r\n

Global developments<\/span><\/b><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>:\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/a>USD declined as investors are convinced that Fed has not only come to the end of rate tightening cycle, but may roll back partially in Q2 of 2024. This contradicts with Fed minutes, which still revealed Fed members discomfort with inflation.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Fed minutes revealed that \u201c<\/span><\/b>The committee members were also unanimous in their view that restrictive policy stance should be maintained until inflation shows a sustainable decline towards Fed\u2019s target. This highlights Fed\u2019s focus on ensuring that inflationary pressures are adequately managed before considering any policy easing.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

A notable change is that the previous stance, which suggested that \u201cone more increase in the target federal funds rate at a future meeting would likely be appropriate,\u201d was conspicuously absent in the latest minutes.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

US Yields declined and stock indices rallied.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

US Personal income, spending, Core PCE index and Dec employment data will offer more clues on how hot the economy and inflation are trending.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>The all-important core PCE inflation gauge is projected to have slowed too, with forecasts pointing to a drop in the annual rate from 3.7% to 3.5% in October. Assuming that there are no big surprises, the incoming data should support the view that inflation and the economy overall are cooling off. Markets are likely to take this as a sign that the Fed will have to begin cutting rates by the middle of 2024 if monetary policy isn\u2019t to become too restrictive.<\/b><\/p>\r\n

ECB minutes reveal a consensus among \u201call members\u201d to maintain the three key ECB interest rates unchanged. This decision reflects a shared confidence that current monetary stance was \u201csufficiently restrictive\u201d for allowing the governing council to assess the \u201cinflation outlook\u201d, \u201cdynamics of underlying inflation\u201d, and \u201cstrength of monetary policy transmission\u201d.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>ECB emphasized the need to remain \u201cboth persistent and vigilant.\u201d<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>Euro\u2019s recent rally will be tested by CPI data next week. With Oil prices declining and EU in technical recession, ECB could also soften its stance and cut rates in 2024.<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/p>\r\n

Oil prices declined due to weakening of Global economy, notwithstanding OPEC\u2019S likely extension of supply cuts. Oil prices fell below USD 80. OPEC has deferred Nov 26 th meeting by a week to build consensus on extension or increase in supply cuts.<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/p>\r\n
