Rupee outlook improves as foreign inflows return

Positive+51

GreyOak summary

Axis Bank reports that Indian rupee pressure eased in November due to returning foreign portfolio inflows of $9.6 billion and softer global oil prices. Despite the merchandise trade deficit widening to $40 billion in October, driven largely by a $5 billion gold deficit, the current account deficit is expected to remain around 1% of GDP. The bank views the trade gap as seasonal rather than a structural shock.
