Banks exit bulk of India rupee arbitrage positions ahead of RBI deadline, sources say

Wait 5 sec.

Banks have largely exited Indian rupee arbitrage trades, complying with the Reserve Bank of India's $100 million net open position limit. These measures, aimed at curbing FX market volatility, were implemented by April 10. Market participants estimate around $40 billion in arbitrage positions have been unwound, with recent price action indicating the completion of these exits.
