Global Stock Market Crash of 2008 - AIG Failure will have worldwide impact
No rate cut by the federal reserve today, will directly impact the ability of Insurance Giant AIG to stay in Business. This will be the lynch-pin that likely breaks global equity and currency markets. The impact will be felt in Europe, as well as Asia. The Indian Rupee and Sensex index will not be spared by the failure of another US financial Institution.
The rupee posted its biggest fall in a decade on Tuesday, hit by risk aversion and banks arbitraging a weaker offshore rate, although suspected central bank intervention stopped the slide just short of 47 per dollar.
The partially convertible rupee ended at 46.89/90 per dollar, off a trough of 46.99 which was its lowest since July 24, 2006.
"The rupee may test 47.20-25 levels in the near term," he added. Dealers said the central bank was seen selling dollars to halt the rupee's sharp decline, but sales were offset by demand for the US currency. At its low on Tuesday, the rupee was down 6.5 percent in September and more than 16 percent in 2008. Dealers estimated the central bank had sold $1.5-$2 billion to put a floor under the rupee on Tuesday.
Indian shares pulled out from a nosedive to end almost level on Tuesday after they had opened down 3.5 percent. Capital outflows from the local shares so far in 2008 total a net $8.4 billion, including $1 billion in September, a sharp turnaround from a record net inflows of $17.4 billion in 2007.
Traders said broad strength in the dollar versus other currencies overseas was also hurting sentiment on the rupee. The dollar steadied near 4-month lows versus the yen on Tuesday, but held gains against high yielders as investors took refuge in safe-haven assets following the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Wait until the effects of a failed AIG hits the international market.
We expect Gold to regain its 10 year bull run. Indian Rupee will be hit hard in the coming financial debacle. Ultimately caused by the world wide real estate bubble and government agencies afraid to take the necessary action.
