The Indian rupee gained this week, closing at 94.40 against the dollar, amid optimism for a U.S.-Iran peace deal, despite ongoing hostilities. Volatility increased as investors remained cautious about the conflict's impact on oil importers like India. The rupee initially fell to 94.70 before recovering, while the dollar-rupee's 1-month implied volatility rose to 5.7%. Analysts warn that if optimism fades, the dollar could strengthen. Brent crude prices dropped nearly 7% to $100.7, and investors are awaiting key U.S. labor market data and India's consumer inflation report next week.

Indian investors are increasingly diversifying their portfolios by investing abroad, driven by poor domestic returns and a weakening rupee. In the past 11 months, investments in overseas equities and debt surged by 60% to over $2.2 billion. The MSCI India Index has underperformed compared to global markets, prompting investors to seek opportunities in sectors like technology and artificial intelligence. Platforms facilitating foreign investments are gaining traction, with local asset managers launching outbound funds. Despite the shift, most investments remain in local markets, but overseas funds have shown strong returns, indicating a growing trend towards global investing.

India is projected to be the fastest-growing major steel market, with demand expected to rise by 7.4% in 2026 and 9.2% in 2027, according to the World Steel Association. In contrast, global steel demand is anticipated to grow only 0.3% in 2026 due to geopolitical tensions, particularly in West Asia, which may lead to downward revisions in the outlook. While China faces a contraction of 1.5%, developed economies are expected to recover gradually, with positive growth in 2027.

India leads steel demand growth as global outlook weakens: Report

Inflows into Indian equity mutual funds surged 56% month-on-month to an eight-month high of 404.5 billion rupees ($4.36 billion) in March, driven by retail investors capitalizing on market dips amid uncertainties from the Iran war. Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) saw record contributions, with accounts rising to 97.2 million. Despite foreign portfolio investors selling $12.7 billion in equities, domestic inflows provided stability. Mid and small-cap funds attracted strong interest, while debt funds faced significant outflows. The market showed signs of recovery towards the end of March, supported by easing geopolitical tensions.
