Rupee sticks to muted price action, implied volatility retreats
The Indian rupee ended slightly higher on Wednesday, sticking to rangebound price action for a third consecutive session on two-sided client flows and the absence of cues to firm a directional bias on the currency. ADVERTISEMENT The dollar-rupee pair's implied volatility, a gauge of future expectations, has receded on the back of muted moves in the currency. The 1-month gauge eased to about 4.4%, the lowest in over one month. On the day, the rupee closed at 85.51 against the U.S. dollar, up slightly from its close of 85.6025 in the previous session. Asian currencies were largely steady as well while the dollar index was hovering sideways around the 99-handle. Mild dollar sales from foreign banks helped the rupee tick higher in early trading but routine corporate dollar demand stood in the way of the local currency extending its rise, a trader at a state-run bank said. India's benchmark equity indexes, the BSE Sensex and Nifty 50, ended slightly in the green, tracking a rise in regional equities as markets gave a guarded welcome to the latest signs of progress in trade talks between the United States and China. ADVERTISEMENT "The dollar remains one of the best gauges of trade sentiment. While it has held up generally well early this week, it hasn't built on the late-week momentum following the US-China meeting announcement," ING Bank said in a note. Worries about the impact of wide-ranging U.S. tariffs have weighed on the dollar this year and left it nursing losses of more than 8.5% against major peers. ADVERTISEMENT The focus now turns to U.S. consumer price inflation data, due later on Wednesday, which is expected to show month-on-month core consumer prices rose 0.3% in May, according to a Reuters poll, slightly higher than the 0.2% rise in the previous month.

Piyush Goyal begins Sweden visit to identify new opportunities for trade growth
New Delhi: Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Wednesday began his official visit to Sweden, aimed at reinforcing the existing robust economic relationship and identifying new opportunities for growth which are aligned with India's long-term economic objectives and global partnerships. The Union Minister's Sweden visit comes after a successful two-day official visit to Switzerland, which focused on advancing India–Switzerland economic cooperation and operationalising the Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) signed earlier this year between India and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA). In the second leg of the official tour, the minister will co-chair the 21st Session of the Indo-Swedish Joint Commission for Economic, Industrial, and Scientific Cooperation (JCEISC) with Benjamin Dousa, Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade. Goyal is also scheduled to hold bilateral meetings with Dousa and Hakan Jevrell, State Secretary to the Minister of Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade. These deliberations are aimed at reinforcing the existing robust economic relationship and identifying new opportunities for growth, aligning with India's long-term economic objectives and global partnerships, according to a statement from the Commerce Ministry. During the visit, key engagements will involve an India-Sweden Business Leaders' roundtable and one-on-one meetings with leading Swedish companies. These discussions will cover a wide range of industries where Sweden excels, including advanced manufacturing, innovation, green technologies, and sustainable solutions. Companies like Ericsson, Volvo Group, IKEA, Sandvik, Alfa Laval, and SAAB are among those with a significant presence or interest in enhancing ties with India. Minister Goyal will also engage with the Indian diaspora and address media interactions, further strengthening the people-to-people connections and communicating the vision for the India-Sweden partnership. According to the official statement, the visit reflects the deepening alignment of strategic priorities between India and its European partners, aiming to translate high-level commitments into sustainable economic partnerships that foster innovation, resilience, and shared growth. Earlier, the Minister engaged extensively with Swiss industry leaders across sectors, including biotech and pharma, healthcare, precision engineering, defence, and emerging technologies. As India charts its journey toward becoming a $5 trillion economy, this visit has set the tone for accelerated collaboration with innovation-driven, trusted partners like Switzerland, said the ministry.
