Kremlin: Europe has so far given no indication of any desire to start a dialogue on the gas issue—but it’s not too late.Kremlin: The war with Iran has caused turmoil in the natural gas market.Kremlin: Russia is considering withdrawing from the European gas market, but this requires careful analysis.March 18th - The Reserve Bank of Indias (RBI) recent measures to protect the rupee exchange rate are putting pressure on the countrys foreign exchange reserves, prompting some analysts to suggest reducing future intervention. Indias foreign exchange reserves (excluding gold) are currently only enough to support 8.7 months of import demand, the lowest level in three years. This comes at a time when India faces rising import bills due to energy prices, impacting its economy and markets. Yes Banks chief economist, Indrani Pan, stated that the more the RBI intervenes, the less firepower it has left, and this could trigger further problems if the ongoing crisis in the Middle East continues to escalate. For the external sector, the only shock absorber is the exchange rate itself. The RBI does need to show greater flexibility in allowing the rupee to depreciate. ANZs foreign exchange strategist, Diraj Niem, said that if fundamentals have permanently changed, maintaining the rupee at a certain level could quickly become very difficult. The RBI can allow the rupee to adjust further before foreign exchange reserve levels become an issue.The final figures for the Eurozones February CPI year-on-year and month-on-month rates will be released in ten minutes.

NZD/USD falls rapidly from 0.6260 when the RBNZ announces a decline in inflation projections to 3.07 percent

The NZD/USD pair has encountered selling pressure while attempting to surpass the immediate resistance level of 0.6260. The asset has seen bids after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) announced inflation estimates at 3.07 percent, down from 3.29 percent previously. It could be an indication of waning price pressure, but additional evidence is still needed to support the argument.

 

Price pressures in the New Zealand economy are increasing and have not yet shown signs of weariness. A June report indicates that an inflation rate of 7.3% is adequate to generate headwinds for families. The RBNZ is consistently escalating its policy tightening measures to combat the same. RBNZ Governor Adrian Orr has already increased the Official Cash Rate by 2.50 percentage points.

 

On the front of the US dollar, the US dollar index (DXY) has returned all intraday gains and is currently trading near the day's open at 106.60. While attempting to break over the crucial resistance level of 106.80, the DXY has encountered selling pressure. This week, investors' attention is centered on Wednesday's release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI).

 

The annual inflation rate is projected to continue at 8.7 percent, down from 9.1 percent in the previous report. Oil prices have been on a downward trend in July, which may be the determining factor for a significant decline in the price increase index. While the US CPI excluding volatile food and oil prices may increase from 5.9 percent to 6.1 percent, the previous reading was 5.9 percent.
