GLOBAL MARKET INSIGHT
USD: The US dollar is seen as continuing recent gains as the Federal Reserve is viewed as likely to increase interest rates next year as
Europe, Japan and other economies continue very loose monetary policies meant to stimulate growth.
EUR: The euro fell sharply on Friday after European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi said inflation expectations were declining to levels
that were very low, keeping the door open for further monetary easing soon.
GBP: Against the dollar, sterling slipped after the anti EU party UKIP took a second parliamentary seat from Britain’s ruling Conservatives,
a harbinger of growing political risk ahead of next May’s national election.
JPY: The dollar slipped against the yen on Friday after Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso said that the yen’s recent fall was too rapid and
undesirable.
ZAR: South Africa’s rand held on to the previous day’s gains against the dollar on Friday, after the Central Bank left interest rates
unchanged but indicated they would have to rise eventually.
INR: The RBI, grabbling with a surge in gold imports last month, could support some restrictions for trading houses but two senior
policymakers involved in the bank's decision-making said officials were also wary of overreacting. A senior finance ministry source
said on Tuesday the country would soon announce measures set to center on import restrictions for private trading house that were
eased earlier this year. Private jewelry exporters account for the bulk of demand for gold. Also Coal India sale of stake meets no protest
and strikes.
