Indian importers hedge less, assured by RBI's rupee support, data suggests

NEW DELHI - Indian importers are taking less insurance against foreign exchange fluctuations, data indicates, on expectations that the central bank will continue to intervene to keep the rupee above the key psychological levelof83perU.S.dollar.

Dollar purchases by importers for delivery beyond the spot date dropped in February, according to Reuters calculations based on data by the Clearing Corporation of India.

Importers bought about $1.24 billion daily, on average, in the forward markets this month, down from $1.50 billion in January and from $1.54 billion in the October-December quarter.

"With the RBI active, importers are eyeing the 83 level and waiting. Instead of forwards, they are looking at options," said Abhishek Goenka, Chief Executive of IFA Global, which manages or advises on over $20 billion worth ofIndiancompanies' forexexposure.

Large importers are looking at the USD/INR call spread option structures, Goenka said. Call spreads protect importers up to a certain price, but cost less than anoutright calloption.

India's trade deficit narrowed to a 12-month low in January, while its service surplus unexpectedly reached arecordhigh.

The country's imports of $50.6 billion in January was less than December's $58.2 billion, November's $56.7 billionandOctober's $58.2billion.
