Rising global crude oil prices and consistent outflow of foreign funds from the Indian equity market is expected to further weaken the Indian rupee, an official said on Sunday. According to Anindya Banerjee, Deputy Vice President for Currency and Interest Rates with Kotak Securities, the Indian rupee has been one of the worst performing currencies in the EM (emerging markets) basket. "Going forward, if oil prices continue to move higher, we can see rupee trade above 68 against the US dollar," Banerjee said. "Over the next week, traders will react to the Karnataka poll. If the BJP wins, then it can cause rupee to appreciate momentarily but the larger downtrend should not be altered. For the larger downtrend to reverse, oil prices have to decline." Banerjee predicted rupee to range between 66.70 and 67.70 on the spot market during the coming week.
India's leading stock exchange BSE Ltd's joint venture (JV) with US-based insurance exchange Ebix will seek approval from the Indian insurance regulator for rolling out of its insurance distribution venture, the BSE chief said here on Saturday. "We have tied up with Ebix, a US based insurance exchange and we have taken permission from Securities Exchange Board of India (Sebi) for setting up a subsidiary for the insurance distribution. In fact, we have formed a joint venture with Ebix and the JV company is in the process of preparing application for seeking approval from Insurance Regulatory Development Authority of India (IRDAI)," BSE's MD and CEO Ashish Kumar Chauhan said. According to him, the JV company will distribute life, non-life and health insurance products of various companies. While BSE and Ebix will hold 40 per cent each in the JV company, the rest 20 per cent will be held by individuals and the company will eventually be called BSE-Ebix Insurance Broking, he said, on the sidelines of the Fintech Forum organised by the Merchants' Chamber of Commerce and Industry here. The JV company will leverage the physical infrastructure of BSE and the technology platform of Ebix, he said.
