Ruble Gains as Putin Orders Troop Pullback!

The Indian rupee snapped a four-day gaining streak on Tuesday, retreating from 11-month highs hit in the previous session after oil importers rushed in to buy dollars, while a rally in domestic shares slowed after powerful recent gains. Intervention from the Reserve Bank of India has been capping broader gains for the local currency, dealers said, as the central bank builds up currency reserves and is drafting a game plan to protect the rupee against the sort of rout that alarmed policymakers and investors last year. The partially convertible rupee closed at 58.63/63 per dollar versus 58.59/60 on Monday.

Most Indian Stocks Gain before Election Results; Rupee Rallies

The Indian rupee strengthened to its highest level in about 10 months on Thursday, while also posting its biggest single-day gain in nearly three weeks on the back of sustained dollar inflows into domestic shares ahead of election results. Hopes that the Bharatiya Janata Party and its allies will win an outright majority have helped fuel gains in shares, given the perceptions that the opposition party is more business and reform friendly. The partially convertible rupee closed at 59.29/30 per dollar, after hitting 59.10, its strongest level since July 29 and higher from its Tuesday's close of 59.66/67. The rupee rose 0.6 percent for the day, its biggest single-day gain since April 25. The Indian rupee fell slightly! 778.
