$-Re swap gets strong demand, weakens rupee

The Reserve Bank of India’s dollar-rupee buy-sell swap saw strong demand but resulted in a lower-than-expected cut-off premium, leading to further rupee depreciation. The $10 billion swap, oversubscribed by $16.23 billion, will reverse in March 2028. Market participants expect continued weakness in the rupee as the RBI focuses on meeting the credit market’s rupee liquidity needs.
