📰 What’s happening now
- On 3 December 2025, the Indian rupee breached the psychological barrier of ₹90 per US dollar — marking a fresh record low. This is largely driven by sustained capital outflows, import-demand for dollars, and global headwinds.
- Meanwhile, markets are entering a consolidation phase after recent volatility. Benchmarks are trading cautiously as investors await key domestic triggers.
- In focus: the three-day policy meeting of the RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) scheduled for 3–5 December 2025. Markets will watch closely for signals on interest-rate stance and liquidity management.
🔄 Why This Matters
1. Currency risk & cost pressures
A weaker rupee increases costs for import-reliant companies — potentially impacting margins, inflation, and input-cost heavy sectors. For investors, this means a sharper focus on companies with limited forex exposure or strong hedging practices.
2. Policy uncertainty & interest-rate outlook
With the MPC meeting underway, whether the RBI chooses to cut rates or hold steady could influence bond yields, borrowing costs, and equity valuations. A status quo might keep financial firms cautious; a rate cut could boost demand and sentiment for interest-rate sensitive stocks.
3. Market volatility and broader investor sentiment
Currency headwinds + policy waiting game = elevated volatility. For equity investors, especially those with medium- to long-term horizons, this could be a moment to re-evaluate allocations, especially exposure to export-heavy or import-heavy companies.
🧭 What Investors Should Do
- Review forex exposure: Focus on companies with stable domestic business or hedging strategies.
- Diversify judiciously: Blend equity with fixed-income and debt instruments to buffer volatility.
- Watch the RBI MPC outcome: Interest-rate decisions will influence sectors differently — financials, consumer, domestic-oriented firms could benefit if rates ease.
- Maintain discipline: Avoid reactive decisions purely on volatility; stay aligned with long-term financial goals.
At Vanshi Wealth, we believe this is a pivotal moment — not a trigger for panic, but for careful evaluation and strategic positioning.
