You will never see this on any Business channel in India, but...
There has been a spectacular collapse in most major currencies against the US dollar just last month.
*-Against USD till Feb 18, 2020
Given that the INR is a highly overvalued currency, can anybody say with certainty, that the INR won't depreciate, and severely at that?
And a history of the INR shows that depreciation tends to be in violent moves, rather than orderly changes
Take a look at this table.
Brazilian Real |
-8.46% |
S. African Rand |
-7.21% |
Thai Baht |
-5.08% |
Australian Dollar |
-4.29% |
EURO |
-3.57% |
Russian Ruble |
-3.07% |
Singapore Dollar |
-2.96% |
South Korean won |
-2.91% |
Canadian Dollar |
-2.60% |
GB Pound |
-2.26% |
Mexican PESO |
-1.80% |
Japanese YEN |
-1.09% |
The net result is this: in US dollar terms, the Indian stock market has delivered abysmal returns over the past several years.
Around 2% CAGR over 5-6 years
Around 0% over 10 years
Now that is quite a shocker, isn't it?

Einstein taught us about relativity in nature. Now come Devina Mehra and Shankar Sharma of First Global to teach us about relativity in financial markets -- and raise some serious questions about just what is driving stock prices.
First Global reports are quite credible and, on occasion, more than that.
What prompts this mention is Intel's earnings report and the fact that First Global has had a pretty good bead on the company and its stock.

Personality counts: Walmart's frugal, but Target charms
"It's better to take a slight hit on [profit] margins and keep on moving and inventing," says First Global Securities. And at least for now, Target is inventing in a way that appeals to consumers with money to spend.
Dead Batteries
At 11 times trailing earnings, Energizer is cheaper; Gillette's multiple is 25. But cheaper doesn't mean better, says First Global.
