Ai Focus
Despite the Indian Central Bank's intervention of an estimated $75 to $80 billion since June, pressure on the Indian rupee continues to intensify, with the exchange rate approaching 97 rupees to 1 US dollar. It is reported that after discussions with the Securities and Exchange Board of India, HDFC, Kotak Mahindra, and UTI have suspended large-scale subscriptions for their gold ETF products, in an effort to limit the potential surge in demand for gold ahead of Diwali. High oil prices, capital outflows from foreign investors, and declining foreign exchange reserves are also adding to the pressure, sparking concerns in the market about a further weakening of the rupee.
