India's foreign exchange reserves marked their biggest weekly jump in more than a year.
India's foreign exchange reserves rose to $544.72 billion in the week through Nov.11, marking their biggest weekly jump in more than a year, the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) weekly statistical supplement showed today.
The country's reserves were at $529.99 billion by Nov 4. They are still down from around $630 billion at the beginning of this year as the RBI sold a portion of the reserves to prevent a sharp fall in the rupee this year.
In the week ended Nov. 11, softer-than-expected US inflation data helped the rupee mark its best weekly performance in about four years and strengthened it to the 80-per-dollar handle for the first time since mid-September.
For the current week, the local currency gave back some of those gains to end down 1.1% at 81.6850 per dollar.
