Rupee falls for fifth straight month in February on outflows, hedging demand

Live Mint  

By Siddhi Nayak MUMBAI, Feb 28 - The Indian rupee logged its fifth straight monthly fall in February, weighed down by foreign portfolio outflows and increased hedging in the onshore and the non-deliverable forward market. India's sluggish economic growth, uncertainty over U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs and rising possibility of a global trade war have hit foreign investors' demand for Indian financial assets. "The outlook continues to favour dollar bulls, supported by sustained demand from importers and continued foreign portfolio investor outflows," said Dilip Parmar, a foreign exchange research analyst at HDFC Securities. "We expect a peak protectionism risk premium in FX in the second quarter, which implies a stronger dollar and a weakening of developed European and emerging Asia currencies," ING Bank said in a note.
