The Indian rupee weakened to 89.9 per USD after the RBI cut interest rates by 25 basis points to 5.25%. This decision was influenced by low inflation and steady growth, creating a "Goldilocks" scenario. The rupee's decline is due to soft trade flows, capital outflows, and U.S. tariffs. The RBI maintained a neutral stance, suggesting this may be the final rate cut for now.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has lowered its key interest rate by 25 basis points to 5.25% and announced measures to inject up to $16 billion into the banking system through debt purchases and a foreign exchange swap. The RBI aims to support growth and bond market sentiment, with open-market operations and FX swaps scheduled for December. This marks the first OMO auction since May, reflecting RBI's awareness of G-sec yields and FX risks.

Asia's stock markets have surged over 25% this year, driven by governance reforms and domestic investments, outpacing the S&P 500. However, challenges remain, requiring politically sensitive reforms. North Asian markets have seen increased share buybacks, while domestic investments in China and India have grown. Yet, Korea struggles to redirect domestic savings. Future reforms will test governments' resolve, especially in stabilizing China's property market and addressing India's retail investment issues.
