Indian Funds Make Record Single-Day Purchase Amount of Local Shares

INDIA

Indeed, as of Wednesday, the MSCI India Small Cap Index had plunged close to 10% since the start of last week.
  • USD/INR ended the session 0.04% in the red, but still above pre-CPI levels. The pair briefly traded above the 200-DMA, an average which led to an acceleration in downside USD/INR momentum when it was broken below last week.
