The one-day (cash/tomorrow) dollar/rupee exchange rate rose to 1.21 Paisa, from 0.40-0.46 Paisa on Monday. The implicit rupid interest based on the swap was around 9%, well above the call interest rate of 5.60%.
“This is the typical pattern that we have seen in the past quarters,” said an FX swap trader at a medium-sized private bank. “Banks just park the excess dollars at hand.”
He explains why this happens on the last day of the quarter, said that banks can place deposits for their excess dollars on other days. However, the deposit limits apply to the last day of a quarter.
He pointed out that the situation in December last year was particularly serious, when the one -day Swap climbed well above 10 Paisa.
In the meantime, the spotting rate of the dollar/rupid was at 88.76, unchanged on Monday. The couple fell somewhat in the open air before they buy dollars when buying a dollar from jewelery companies and other regular importers, bankers said. The rupid just remains shy for last week’s low of 88,7975. “Without further news about the India-us trade, the markets are waiting for the RBI policy tomorrow to measure what it has in mind on the rupid and on the interest rate front,” said Anil Bhansali, head of Treasury at Finrex Treasury Advisors.
On Wednesday, the Reserve Bank of India will decide whether they should lower the most important policy rate in the aftermath of the trade tensions of the US India or holds on hold of observing the impact of the tax cuts of goods and services.
