India's central bank is back intervening in the currency markets. The rupee's been under pressure lately—classic playbook when a currency weakens and the RBI steps in to defend it.
This is the kind of move you see when inflation's heating up, foreign capital's flowing out, or the dollar's too strong. Central banks burn through reserves trying to stabilize their currency, but it's usually a short-term fix.
Keep an eye on emerging market currencies when the Fed stays hawkish. Rupee weakness often signals broader EM stress, and that can spill over into global risk appetite and equity flows.
