India’s rupee forward market saw long-dated premiums fall sharply as traders priced in a potential $10 billion FX swap by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to enhance liquidity. This move aims to counteract the liquidity drain caused by the RBI's interventions in the currency market amid rising oil prices.
The speculation around a longer-tenor buy-sell swap has reset pricing, with three-year forward points dropping significantly over two sessions, indicating a shift in market expectations.
