Indian firms use euro, yen swaps
Financial Express Hyderabad|December 18, 2024
MOREOVER, EXPECTATIONS OF dollar strengthening further have also prompted Indian firms to opt for cross-currency pairs other than USD-INR.

The dollar strengthened 0.16% to 0.894 against the Swiss franc, hovering near its highest level since July. Against the yen, the dollar strengthened 0.31% to 154.12, after rising as high as 154.48 for the first time since November 26.

"Euro interest rates will go down due to the slowdown in the Euro Zone, while dollar interest rates may not fall significantly, particularly if Trump imposes tariffs. So, people are switching to these swaps," said Anil Kumar Bhansali, head of treasury at Finrex Treasury.
