Best Investment Apps UK 2022 – Forbes Advisor UK - Forbes

Image
Until recently, the idea of managing stocks and shares from your mobile device – in effect, having a dealing room in your pocket – would have seemed fanciful.  But today's smartphones are making this a reality. Private investors are increasingly using trading apps, not just to execute the occasional transaction, but to run entire portfolios. Whether you're new to buying shares or a seasoned stock market investor, here's a look at the rise in trading apps and how to choose one to suit your needs. Remember: investment is speculative, and as an investor your capital is at risk. This means you might lose some or all of your money. Which trading app should I pick? Keeping the amount that you pay to trade and invest  to a minimum will end up boosting the returns made by your underlying investments.  But, as with so many decisions to do with our finances, when it comes to choosing a trading app, there's...

RBI's forex measures to protect rupee drives bill rates to 3-year high | Mint - Mint

Image
The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) intervention in the foreign exchange market for protecting the Indian rupee seems to be pushing shorter rates to multi-year highs. In recent weeks, the rupee has hit a series of record lows and even breached the 80 mark against the US dollar. Kanika Pasricha, an economist at Standard Chartered Plc in Mumbai said, persistent FX intervention to cap rupee losses and elevated government cash balance may probably keep liquidity tight and rates elevated in the short term, as per a Bloomberg report. On Wednesday, the government's borrowing costs for a three-month Treasury bill jumped to their highest in three years at an auction, while the weighted average call rate, an interbank overnight rate zoomed to a level last seen in 2020, at 5.09%.

USD/PKR forecast: Can Pakistani rupee bounce back from record lows despite default fears? - Capital.com

Image
The portrait of Mohammad Ali Jinnah on a one thousand PKR banknote. Photo: Bloomberg Creative Photos / Gettyimages Pakistan's rupee ( PKR ) is trading at a record low against the US dollar ( USD ) after its worst weekly fall since 1998 as the country faces a shortage in foreign currency reserves, slowing economic growth and political instability. Ratings agency Fitch downgraded Pakistan's credit rating outlook last week to negative from stable, while affirming its Long-Term Foreign-Currency (LTFC) Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'B-'. That added further downward pressure on the currency along with the government's dollar-denominated bonds and the stock market. Pakistan's foreign currency reserves have been falling since January on a combination of a growing current account deficit, requirements for external debt repayments and a lack of foreign inflows. The rupee has shed 24% of its value against the dollar since the start of the year, with strength in the...

Rupee vs Dollar Today: Rupee falls to 80/dollar — why is it happening, and where will it end? - The Indian Express

Image
The Indian rupee breached the psychologically significant exchange rate level of 80 to a US dollar in early trade on Tuesday. It recovered some ground to close at 79.90. Since the war in Ukraine began, and crude oil prices started going up, the rupee has steadily lost value against the dollar. There are growing concerns about how a weaker rupee affects the broader economy and what challenges it presents to policymakers, especially since India is already grappling with high inflation and weak growth. What is the rupee exchange rate? The rupee's exchange rate vis-à-vis the dollar is essentially the number of rupees one needs to buy $1.

Broadly speaking, when the rupee depreciates, importing goods and service becomes costlier. But if one is trying to export goods and services to other countries, especially to the United States, India...
