7月份,印度卢比兑美元汇率跌破86.35,为一个月来的最低水平,原因是美元停止下跌,交易员认为印度储备银行态度温和,与美国的贸易前景悲观。印度贸易代表团指出,在8月1日的最后期限之前,与美国达成临时协议似乎很困难,这可能会导致未来几周对印度征收高额关税,并减少对印度企业集团的出口需求。美国总统特朗普对金砖国家成员国和再出口俄罗斯能源产品的国家的关税威胁加剧了这一点,危及了外国资本的流入。在货币政策方面,消费者通胀率降至2.1%的六年低点,远低于市场预期,以测试印度储备银行2%通胀容忍区间的下限。因此,市场预计印度储备银行今年将继续降低其基准政策利率。
The Indian rupee weakened past 86.35 per USD in July, the lowest in one month, as the dollar halted its slide and traders considered a dovish RBI and the pessimistic trade outlook with the US. India's trade delegation noted that an interim deal with the US looks difficult before the August 1st deadline, likely resulting in aggressive tariffs on India in the coming weeks, and reducing export demand for Indian conglomerates. This was magnified by US President Trump's tariff threats on BRICS members and countries re-exporting Russian energy goods, jeopardizing foreign capital inflows. On the monetary policy front, consumer inflation feel to a a six-year low of 2.1%, well below market expectations, to test the lower bound of the RBI's inflation tolerance band of 2%. Consequently, markets expect the RBI to continue reducing its benchmark policy rate this year.
