RBI broadens measures to support the rupee as pressure mounts

India’s Reserve Bank is expanding its efforts to steady the rupee.

It has taken some of its strongest measures since the 2013 taper tantrum, a period when global financial markets reacted to the prospect of reduced US central bank support.

The latest measures come as external pressures on the currency mount.

They may give the rupee a boost when trading resumes Monday.

But it is not clear how far the RBI is willing to go to defend it.

The central bank’s next actions will depend on how it responds to those pressures.

The currency’s direction remains uncertain.
