India’s Fundamentals 

M3 Money Supply

The Reserve Bank of India issued the decision for the M3 Money Supply which is a measure of all the Indian Rupees in circulation, including money held in bank accounts, note, and coins. The M3 money supply is recognized as a significant pointer to inflation since financial increase adds weight to exchange rates. An increase in the M3 money indicates a bullish outlook for the Indian Rupee, while a slump shows bearish outlook for the Rupee.

India’s Trade Deficit 

India’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry released the trade deficit on Thursday 11 April ’19, which is a figure that compares the number of imports to exports of total goods and services.  A positive assessment reveals a shortfall in trade, while a negative value reveals an excess of trade. Steady growth in demand for Indian export is regarded as negative for the trade deficit and consequently positive for the Indian Rupee. The previous reading is at $9.6B while the consensus is at -$10.3B.
