In the past fortnight, they have yanked out $1.7 billion amid disappointment over the Rs 20-trillion stimulus package and rising Covid-19 cases, despite multiple lockdown extensions. The two-week rolling average for daily flows is currently at (negative) — $205 million — worst since March-end, when foreign institutional investment selling was at its peak due to major global risk aversion.

In a new set of measures to reduce the impact of coronavirus lockdown on the economy, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Friday decided to cut the repo rate by 40 basis points from 4.4 per cent to 4 per cent. The reverse repo rate was also reduced by 40 basis points to 3.35 per cent. What will be the impact of these rate cuts on fixed deposits (FDs), one of the most popular investment avenues? Many people prefer bank FDs over equities as the former are considered safe. However, the recent spate of rate cuts could…

Commodity prices jumped by 1-3 per cent during the past one week on renewed hope of recovery in demand, with the huge economic stimulus seen supporting the recommencement of global infrastructure activity. The likely rebound will have its roots in the gradual opening of economies worldwide after almost three months of lockdown.
