You know, obviously, as we've said earlier, one relies on its relationship with the US to gain the weapons it needs to defend itself from China, and it's no so minimalised on us to fish fryer and speak for on the world stage. So this is a massive and on the massive confidence in the relationship between Taiwan and the U. S. And another sign of these. This relationship is just keep on growing. Meanwhile, Beijing has issued and it had issued several warning against Pelosi's visit, saying it violates the one China policy and the warnings turning into threats as the day drew closer.

In a show of force against the Chinese claims, the rupee bounces back and gained for the fourth straight session on Tuesday and gained significantly to well below 79 for dollar, driven largely by significant reversal in foreign capital inflows and a weaker dollar foreign change. We have good news for the economy, rupee has recovered and it is hit a one month high of 78.71 per dollar rupee has Chandon, after weakening 2. ₹80 per dollar in July, remember on July 19th, rupee had hit 80 per dollar, so our currency is close to 2% up since then, but it's still down over 6% this year. But the 78 per dollar level was last only seen in the month of July at the end of July. Now, what are the reasons for the recovery? Three primary ones number one foreign investors are returning to India and that's boosting the rupee. Even today, foreign investors invested net ₹5 crore in Indian equities. July was in fact, the first month since October last year when foreign investors put money in Indian markets instead of withdrawing it. Foreign investments and currency leaving India were taking no demand and the price of the rupee down. And now that they're back, the rupee is bouncing back again. Now the second reason a weakening dollar that's pumping up the rupee dollar is at its lowest since mid June. The rising interest rates in the United States were taking demand and price of the dollar up as investors went back to the reserve currency. But these hikes hurt economic growth. Now that the US economy has contracted for the last two quarters, it's now expected that Fed will now lower rate hikes to boost the economy that's taking dollars value down. The third major reason is lowering crude oil prices. Brent crude is trading below ₹100 100 dollars per barrel, which is the lowest rate since mid July. This means we now have to pay less for our oil imports, meaning less foreign currency will go out of India. These are the primary reasons behind the rupee's boost and on a day when the rupee recovered, the finance minister to in the parliament defended the currency, saying that there is no collapse of the Indian rupee. Let's listen in there just picking up on what the honourable member Indian rupees fluctuations are more versus t dot the U. S. And even there, the performance of the Indian rupee is much better than its own. Pios weaves withstood the impact of the US Fed's decisions much better than any other currencies and actually to compare Indian rupee versus other currencies. It's appreciating in its finance minister. They're pointing out again that the rupee is in fact performing better than it's spears and it only seems to be getting better and news from the National Capital Congress workers gathered in large numbers at the Herald House office of the National Herald newspaper to protest the enforcement directorate raids, carrying placards and raising slogans against the government.
