Kremlin: Europe has so far given no indication of any desire to start a dialogue on the gas issue—but it’s not too late.Kremlin: The war with Iran has caused turmoil in the natural gas market.Kremlin: Russia is considering withdrawing from the European gas market, but this requires careful analysis.March 18th - The Reserve Bank of Indias (RBI) recent measures to protect the rupee exchange rate are putting pressure on the countrys foreign exchange reserves, prompting some analysts to suggest reducing future intervention. Indias foreign exchange reserves (excluding gold) are currently only enough to support 8.7 months of import demand, the lowest level in three years. This comes at a time when India faces rising import bills due to energy prices, impacting its economy and markets. Yes Banks chief economist, Indrani Pan, stated that the more the RBI intervenes, the less firepower it has left, and this could trigger further problems if the ongoing crisis in the Middle East continues to escalate. For the external sector, the only shock absorber is the exchange rate itself. The RBI does need to show greater flexibility in allowing the rupee to depreciate. ANZs foreign exchange strategist, Diraj Niem, said that if fundamentals have permanently changed, maintaining the rupee at a certain level could quickly become very difficult. The RBI can allow the rupee to adjust further before foreign exchange reserve levels become an issue.The final figures for the Eurozones February CPI year-on-year and month-on-month rates will be released in ten minutes.

Bitcoin falls below $19,000 as cryptos creak under rate hike risk

On Monday, cryptocurrency prices hit new lows as a result of regulatory worries and a general investor reluctance to engage in risky assets due to impending interest rate increases.


By market value, Bitcoin, the most valuable cryptocurrency, dropped almost 5% to a three-month low of $18,387.


The second-largest cryptocurrency, ethereum, lost 3% to a two-month low of $1,285 and had lost more than 10% in the previous day. The majority of the smaller tokens had larger losses.


Over the weekend, a significant update to the Ethereum blockchain—which supports the ether token—called the Merge changed how transactions are handled and reduced energy consumption.


The value of the token has decreased amid rumors that comments made last week by Gary Gensler, chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, suggested the new structure would draw further regulation. The upgrades' surrounding trades were likewise unwound.


The regulatory outlook is guesswork, according to Matthew Dibb, COO of Singapore's Stack Funds cryptocurrency platform.


Since the Merge, the markets have shed a lot of their excitement, he said. Given the uneasy global background, he said, "It's truly been a sell-the-news sort of event," and predicted that ether will test $950 in the near future.


"From a basic and technological standpoint, the current situation does not appear promising. There isn't a clear quick positive trigger that will support these markets and inject a ton of fresh cash and liquidity, in our opinion.
