Let’s take a look at some simple data and see what the rates and currencies have done over the past few years.
In India the reserve bank reports the Lending Rate. This remained unchanged at 6.5 per cent percent in August from 6.5 per cent percent in July of 2016. Taking a look back at some old data Bank Lending Rate in India ranged from 6.25 per cent in 2005 to 6.5 per cent in 2016, reaching an all-time high of 9 per cent percent and a record low of 4.25 per cent percent.
On the contrary if we look at the relationship between AUD and INR over past 10 years we can see a high of 61.73 in 2013 and a low of 30.50 in 2009. Considering these levels and historical data I think we are sitting on a very strong level currently.
In Australia RBA had cut the rates to an all-time low of 1.5 per cent and we have had some strong data out of the US but still the AUD/USD pair is currently trading over .7700. Both for importers and individuals who want to sell AUD must consider these levels.
On 10 August 2016 at 10.06 p.m. AUD/USD is trading at .7741 and AUD/INR is trading at 51.62.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
