How Rupee is recovering against dollar?



Indian Rupee (INR) today managed to close at 52.5 levels against the US dollar, which is 5-month high. Earlier I had discussed reasons for the rupee depreciation against the USA dollar.

Now let’s have a look into various factors that helped rupee to appreciate –

     (1)    Weakness in Dollar: Recently US Federal Reserve came out with its third round of the quantitative easing under which $ 40 billion of bonds shall be purchased every month until job situation improves.
Simply put, Federal Reserve increased the dollar in the financial system and as per the demand-supply rule, dollar depreciated against other global currencies. This weakness is also reflected by the dollar-index chart.

Weak dollar helped Indian rupee to appreciate against it.

      (2)    Increased capital flows in India: Indian government once accused of policy paralysis came up with a slew of economic reforms which restored the global investors’ confidence in India-story and foreign capital started flowing in aggressively . Dollar funds inflow fortified the Indian rupee (again according to demand and supply rule).

     (3)    Heavy dollar selling by exporters: Surging rupee spooked exporters and other dollar hoarders and they oozed out dollars fearing value erosion.As rupee gets stronger rupee-value of dollar-fund diminishes and due to this dollar-hoarders sell it.

   (4)    Falling crude prices: Diminishing crude prices ensured reduced dollar outflow and lower current account deficit resulting in stronger rupee.

   (5)    Due to Past Government measures: Imports of Gold, silver and crude expend lots of dollars. To curb the outflow of dollars, Government had hiked the import duty on gold and silver. Higher import duty discouraged the imports to some extent and helped rupee to strengthen.
Besides this RBI had curbed the currency speculation by withdrawing the facility to cancel and re-book the forward contracts by residents and foreign investors.
These earlier steps too seem to be showing their effects.

Team Work - Meaning and Tips for better Team Work

A single brain is not always capable of making key decisions on its own. To come up with an efficient solution, an individual requires the help and advice of others. A team is established when individuals get together on a common platform with the common goal of completing a task. To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat. Any team's performance is directly proportionate to the relationship between its members and their combined efforts. What is the definition of teamwork? Teamwork is defined as the sum of each team member's efforts toward the fulfilment of the team's goal. In other words, any team's backbone is its ability t

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
