In its March bulletin, RBI noted that the Indian rupee (INR) depreciated by 0.9 per cent (m-o-m) during February 2025, weighed by heavy FPI outflows. The extent of depreciation of the INR, however, was lower than the previous month. In addition, the INR remained one of the least volatile major currency. As on March 7, 2025, India held foreign exchange reserves worth US$ 654.0 billion, sufficient for over 11 months of imports and 91 per cent of external debt outstanding at end-September 2024. The top reserves-holding economies witnessed drawdown in forex reserves during Q3:2024-25, with some signs of recovery in 2025. The central bank also said that as of March 17, 2025, the US dollar has given up all of its gains since mid-November 2024, weighed by US trade policy and growth uncertainties. Potential negative impact of trade restrictions on US growth weighed on the US dollar and the US dollar index (DXY) weakened by 0.7 per cent in February and continued to weaken in March. ...

The domestic stock market inched higher today, clawing back some losses after a volatile session. The Nifty settled above the 21,800 level after hitting the days low of 21,710.20 in mid-morning trade. Investor jitters surrounding the upcoming Fed meeting outcome kept things on edge, but positive Asian cues and strong domestic inflows provided some support. Auto and energy stocks led the gains, while metals and private banks dragged. The Fed's decision later today is expected to be a wait-and-see approach, possibly delaying any rate cuts until later in the year. All eyes are on the central bank's stance as it navigates a resilient US economy and lingering inflation concerns.

According to RBIs March bulletin, the resilience of the global economy is being tested by escalating trade tensions and a heightened wave of uncertainty around the scope, timing, and intensity of tariffs. While engendering heightened volatility in global financial markets, these have also caused apprehensions about the slowdown in global growth. Amidst these challenges, the Indian economy continues to demonstrate resilience as evident in the robust performance of the agriculture sector and improving consumption. The reverberations of a tumultuous external environment, however, are being reflected in sustained foreign portfolio outflows. Indias macroeconomic strength to face these challenges is bolstered by a decline in headline CPI inflation to a seven-month low of 3.6 per cent in February 2025 on account of a further correction in food prices.
