The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its latest data has showed that it continued to remain a net seller of the US dollar in October 2018, as it sold $7.204 billion of the greenback in the spot market.

In September 2018, the RBI sold $31 million of the US currency in the spot market on a net basis, after it bought $1.012 billion, while selling $1.043 billion. Though, in October 2017, the bank was net buyer of US currency, after it had bought $1.910 billion, while sold $1.058 billion in the spot market.

Besides, the RBI data showed, in the forward dollar market, the outstanding net forward sales at the end of October 2018 was $2.888 billion, compared with $1.358 billion in September. In the last financial year (FY18), the bank had net purchased $33.689 billion of US dollars from the spot market. It had bought $52.068 billion, while sold $18.379 billion.
