Other Key Data: Gold Reserves, IMF Position, FCAs

Gold reserves increased by $1.01 billion to $56.81 billion, while Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) decreased by $43 million to $18.03 billion.

Foreign currency assets (FCAs) contracted by $3.79 billion to $560.86 billion, reflecting the impact of appreciation or depreciation of non-US currencies held in the reserves.

The reserve position in the IMF also dipped by $2 million to $4.63 billion.

The RBI regularly monitors the foreign exchange markets and intervenes as needed to maintain orderly market conditions and prevent excessive volatility in the exchange rate. The central bank's interventions may include liquidity management measures and the selling of dollars to stabilise the rupee.
