Spot Currency
The rupee appreciated and moved below 73 levels once again ahead of union budget. However, sovereign Indian bonds declined ahead of Monday’s federal budget and RBI’s rate decision later next week. The dollar surged versus the yen and most other Group-of-10 peers, as it broke through technical levels and benefited from weakening risk sentiment as global stocks fell.
