KANPUR, India May 22 (Reuters) – The war in the Middle East is squeezing two pillars of Indian employment, forcing Gulf-based workers home and crushing demand for the country’s manufactured exports, from leather goods to glassware. For decades, work in the Middle East and global demand for labour-intensive manufacturing in sectors such as footwear and garments gave a generation of Indians stable, and in some cases lucrative, incomes. Now, the foreign conflict has dealt a double blow to the economy, with returning migrant workers stuck in India and unable to find similar pay in their home towns, heightening the risk
Mumbai, May 22 (Reuters) – India’s central bank does not see interest rate hikes as the best way to defend the embattled rupee, three sources said, a position at odds with markets, reinforcing that inflation – not the currency – will guide policy on borrowing costs. The Reserve Bank of India has other levers it has yet to deploy, according to the sources familiar with the RBI’s thinking, which Reuters reported earlier included options such as dollar deposit schemes for non-resident Indians and tax tweaks for debt investors. All options remain on the table and are under consideration in coordination
New Delhi, May 22 (Reuters) – Gold edged lower on Friday, pressured by a stronger U.S. dollar and as elevated oil prices have raised expectations for interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Spot gold was down 0.3% at $4,527.60 per ounce, as of 0411 GMT. The metal has shed about 0.2% so far in the week. U.S. gold futures for June delivery lost 0.3% to $4,529.10. The dollar held near a six-week high, making greenback-priced bullion more expensive for holders of other currencies. “What’s been driving (gold) lower has been the stronger dollar, which in turn is being
BEIJING (AP) — On the surface, Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s back-to-back summits with U.S. President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin looked pretty similar, with formal handshakes in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, enthusiastic greetings from flower-waving children, and marching columns of soldiers with gleaming bayonets. But the visits also revealed how different China’s relationship is with the two countries. During Trump’s visit, China sought to stabilize ties with the United States, while Putin’s trip served to deepen its strategic partnership with Russia. Xi emphasized ceremonial hospitality during Trump’s visit, including a rare tour of Zhongnanhai, a former imperial garden that now
