India's forex reserves fall nearly $60 billion in six weeks as RBI intervenes to support rupee
AI Market Summary
The RBI burned roughly $60bn of reserves in six weeks defending the rupee, signalling intense depreciation pressure from higher crude, elevated US yields and $26.8bn of foreign portfolio outflows. Gold and FX assets fell sharply. Persistent intervention depletes buffers and raises imported inflation risk, keeping USD/INR biased higher and pressuring Indian assets near term.

India's foreign exchange reserves fell by nearly $60 billion in the six weeks to October 9 to $726.027 billion, driven largely by the central bank's dollar sales to defend the rupee. The rupee is among Asia's worst-performing currencies this year, pressured by higher crude oil prices, rising US Treasury yields and foreign investor outflows. Foreign currency assets and gold reserves also posted significant declines in the reporting week.
