Forex reserves rise by $1.5 billion

Our Bureau

Mumbai, Oct. 16 The country’s foreign exchange reserves gained by $1.521 billion to touch $281.861 billion for the week ended October 9, according to the latest figures from the Reserve Bank of India.

This is the second week in a row that foreign exchange reserves have increased.

In the previous week ended September 25, reserves had increased by $430 billion to touch $280.340 billion. For the week under review, most of the gains have been on account of currency revaluation. Foreign currency assets increased by $1.477 billion to touch $265.942 billion.

Gold was unchanged at $10.316 billion. SDRs increased by $35 million to $5.235 billion. The reserve position in the IMF increased by $9 million to touch $1.368 billion.

Next week, the rupee could see resistance at 46.80 and could trade at around 46.40/50 levels, said a forex dealer with a pubic sector bank. “The rupee’s movement will depend on the equities. A substantial correction in the equities is possible due to profit booking and a similar situation is also likely to be seen in the rupee,” the dealer said.
