Currencies
Losing nearly quarter per cent, the rupee (INR) yesterday closed at 73.65 after marking an intraday low of 73.73 against the dollar (USD). However, I expect that given signs of a recovery in the dollar going forward, the loonie stands to take a larger hit than other major currencies. The rupee witnessed high volatility against the US dollar in opening trade on Wednesday ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s policy decision. Some commentators regard a widening in the trade deficit as an ominous sign for the exchange rate of the US dollar against major currencies in the times ahead.
Moreover, while the CAD/USD has been seeing growth since March, this has largely been due to dollar weakness rather than loonie strength. Goenka further said that “the threshold for the US dollar to weaken from current levels is high as a lot of dovishness has already been factored in. The currency might see some further growth against the U.S. dollar should cases continue to grow disproportionately in the United States.
I anticipate that the dollar will continue to see weakness as long as this remains the case. Indeed it has now returned to almost exactly the level at which it was pegged against the dollar during the financial crisis era. In mid-June, for example, the company closed an offering of €500 million, or approximately $565 million, of 1.250% euro-denominated notes due 2031.
