Key Highlights:
Liquidity
The surplus liquidity in banking system has surged up to Rs. 1.41 lakh crore during the first week of September 2019. On account of excess liquidity in the system, the weighted average call money rate is hovering around 5.34% for past four weeks. However, there is a sign of improvement during the third week of September as the surplus liquidity has reduced to Rs. 45,000 crore. The overall liquidity condition is likely to improve in coming weeks on account of festive session. Moreover, fall in deposit growth to 9.7% is indicating a further improvement in the liquidity condition.
Capital Market
On the global capital market, the 10-year US sovereign yield has inched up to 1.9% during the first week of Sept 2019. In the European Union, ECB has trimmed its deposit rate by 10 bps to -.5%. Moreover, QE program of 20 billion euro monthly also on the card of the central bank. Going ahead, this will infuse liquidity in the global financial system. Moreover, Fed’s next FOMC meeting is due on this week. These factors are likely to dominate the sovereign debt market in coming weeks. On the domestic market front, the 10-year Indian G-sec stands at 6.70% for past two weeks. The FOMC decision will be crucial for the future trend of the sovereign yield.
Currency Trend
The currency market seems to be recovering after a month long volatility. The Indian rupee has shown a sign of improvement with 0.8% appreciation over the week time. However, recent attack on Saudi oil tank will volatile oil price and there by currency market as well. An accommodative stance of ECB and Fed will have a positive impact on the Indian rupee.
