Choppy local equity markets and lower Asian stocks also pressurized rupee. Meantime, investors were sticking to a new Washington Consensus, moving their money to the relatively safe US. However global oil prices have fallen a bit in the last few weeks. But the government seems to have postponed the necessary price hikes after the Presidential elections. This move was affecting country’s trade deficit, which is already at 10.9% of GDP, and country’s oil import bill continues to be alarmingly high.
