India's markets regulator has proposed allowing select agricultural commodity derivatives to initially trade as cash-settled instruments to boost liquidity. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) suggested that these contracts could transition to physical delivery after meeting certain trading volume or open interest thresholds, or after two years. Commodities like maize, groundnut, and chilli may be included in a pilot program. This interim cash settlement aims to enhance participation without marking a policy shift away from physical settlement. Public comments are invited until June 2.

India proposes interim cash settlement to boost liquidity in agri derivatives

The Indian rupee has hit a record low of 95.7950 per dollar, driven by overseas debt repayments and importer-hedging demand, despite limited support from tax increases on gold and silver imports. The ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict has negatively impacted India's macroeconomic outlook, leading to lowered growth forecasts and increased inflation projections. Analysts suggest that a significant recovery in the rupee will require a drop in oil prices or a resumption of portfolio flows. The Reserve Bank of India may consider further measures to stabilize the currency, although rate hikes are seen as a last resort.

India's foreign-exchange reserves are robust enough to defend the rupee against oil shocks, with reserves at $690 billion. Economists note that the Reserve Bank of India can utilize nearly $150 billion before reaching critical levels. Despite scrutiny as the rupee hits record lows, the situation is not as severe as during the 2013 taper tantrum. Prime Minister Modi's recent appeal to conserve reserves and increased import duties on gold highlight concerns over external finances. Overall, metrics indicate a comfortable position for India, with fiscal and external deficits under control.
