The rupee<\/a> is stronger at the start of the week, even though India\u2019s economic bleeding is getting worse. GBP\/INR<\/a> has declined in early trading on Monday by 0.39% to 94.288, as of 6:00 AM UTC. Larger timeframes show that the pair has moved sideways since the end of March.<\/p>\n

The recent decline in price has to do with investors\u2019 behavior. At the end of last week, the pair has been bullish but couldn\u2019t break above a strong resistance level near 95.000. Now the price is moving towards a reliable support level near 93.500.<\/p>\n

The fundamentals are not favoring the rupee though. Earlier Monday, Nikkei and IHS Markit released India\u2019s manufacturing data for April, which showed that activity tumbled at the fastest pace on record as a result of the nationwide lockdown.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s Nikkei manufacturing purchasing managers’ index (PMI) crashed to 27.4 in April from 51.8 in March. This is the lowest reading since the survey came out in 2005.<\/p>\n

Eliot Kerr, an economist at IHS Markit, commented<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter making it through March relatively unscathed, the Indian manufacturing sector felt the full force of the coronavirus pandemic in April. Record contractions in output, new orders and employment pointed to a severe deterioration in demand conditions<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

New orders and output showed the biggest decline on record, forcing manufacturers to cut jobs at the fastest rate.<\/p>\n

Last month, a Reuters survey suggested that India\u2019s economy might enter a recession for the first time since mid-1990s. The government\u2019s support package worth $22.4 billion and the central bank\u2019s rate cuts cannot offset the economic decline.<\/p>\n

UK Launches Loan Scheme to Help Small Businesses<\/h2>\n

Elsewhere, the UK is also struggling with the impact of the pandemic. The government led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson implemented the lockdown measures at the end of March. The PM doesn\u2019t seem to endorse a quick reopening of the economy, which might cause further damage especially among small and medium-sized businesses.<\/p>\n

Today, finance minister Rishi Sunak announced the launch of a government-backed loan facility to support small businesses. Thus, firms operating coffee shops, hairdressing salons or florists might obtain emergency cash. The minister said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cSmall businesses will play a key role creating jobs and securing economic growth as we recover from the coronavirus pandemic<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
