China's non-bank sectors, including enterprises and individuals, recorded net cross-border capital inflows of $40.7 billion in September, down 35% from August, according to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE). Trade in goods continued to generate substantial inflows. Banks settled $294.2 billion and sold $238 billion of foreign exchange in September; over the first nine months, settlement reached nearly $2.38 trillion and sales $1.98 trillion. SAFE spokesperson Li Bin said the FX market remained generally stable amid volatility in international markets, while outward direct investment rose, with financing from domestic firms to overseas affiliates growing fast, reflecting interest rate changes and the growing role of the renminbi as a financing currency.

- Taiwan Export Orders Rise 62 . 4 % as New Taiwan Dollar Weakens
Taiwan’s export orders rose 62.4% year on year in September to $114.2 billion, up 10.9% from August and 1.1% after seasonal adjustment, bringing third-quarter orders to $315.1 billion, up 65%. For the first nine months, orders reached $819.2 billion, up 56%, though the ministry warned that rising overseas production means some ordered goods may not be exported from Taiwan. Between October 12 and 16, the New Taiwan dollar weakened 1.37% as the U.S. dollar rose from NT$31.895 to NT$32.338. The central bank cited net sales of $19.402 billion in Taiwan shares by foreign investors and net remittances of $17.961 billion abroad, and said it will step in if unusual capital flows cause excessive swings. Its September forecast projects growth of 11.48% in 2026 and 5.82% in 2027, linked to AI and emerging technology demand.

The Indian rupee weakened 12 paise to 94.50 against the US dollar in early trade on Thursday, as falling domestic stocks and higher global crude prices weighed on the currency.

The BSE Sensex dropped 642.51 points to 73,067.18 and the NSE Nifty 50 fell 241.35 points to 22,570.90, although foreign institutional investors bought Rs 1,022.32 crore of shares on Wednesday.

The rupee fell 12 paise to 94.50 against the U.S. dollar in early trade on Thursday, October 22, 2026, weighed by weak domestic equities and surging crude prices.

- IMF official says currency intervention offers limited benefits
A senior IMF official, Krishna Srinivasan, said in Mumbai that currency intervention offers only limited benefits beyond the short term, and that exchange rates should be allowed to absorb global shocks. Asian central banks are struggling with currency weakness as capital outflows and dollar demand rise, with policymakers from Indonesia to Japan using rate hikes and market intervention. Ranil Salgado of the IMF described the Reserve Bank of India's recent steps to attract foreign inflows as broadly positive, while noting the RBI aims to limit excessive volatility rather than defend a specific exchange-rate level.
- Rupee hits six-week high, surges 53 paise to 94.38 against dollar on Jio IPO inflows, RBI support
The rupee rose 53 paise to close at 94.38 against the US dollar on Wednesday, its strongest level in six weeks, as foreign currency inflows tied to Reliance Industries' Jio Platforms IPO and RBI intervention offset weak domestic equities and elevated crude oil prices. The Rs 30,213-crore IPO was fully subscribed within 100 minutes of opening and reached 3.16 times subscription overall, with qualified institutional buyers subscribing 9.42 times their reserved portion. Analysts noted that foreign investors typically sell dollars to buy rupees when joining large IPOs, which increases dollar supply, while the RBI acted to curb spot-market dollar demand from oil companies and excessive volatility.
