Rupee drops 36 paise as RBI eases forex curbs yet traders get hedging squeeze

Banks pull back on NDF offers, raising hedging costs

The rupee fell 36 paise to around 93.13 per dollar after the RBI rolled back some forex curbs following Monday’s market close. Bank treasury heads said they remain cautious and are holding back non-deliverable forward (NDF) contracts to corporates as RBI likely monitors such trades. Dollar-rupee forward premiums rose, lifting hedging costs, with the 1-year forward yield up 10 bps to 3.10%.
