The Indian rupee staged a sharp rebound in early February after the US and India announced a trade deal that cut reciprocal US tariffs on Indian goods to 18% from 50%. On Feb. 3 the currency rallied about 1.36% to 90.27 per dollar — its biggest one‑day gain since 2018 — as traders unwound short positions and foreign investors bought Indian equities. In the sessions that followed (Feb. 4-5) gains were limited by heavy corporate dollar demand and increased exporter hedging, while forward premiums eased (one‑year implied yield near 2.39% and one‑month premiums at multi‑week lows). The Reserve Bank of India’s $10 billion three‑year buy/sell FX swap and a Monetary Policy Committee meeting are focal points for markets weighing likely intervention and rate guidance. Banks and strategists are divided: Bank of America sees further strengthening to around 88.6–89 by end‑March, while others caution that RBI reserve and forward‑book management, capital flows and detailed terms of the trade deal will determine sustainability.

Oberoi Realty emerged as the highest bidder for an 11-acre parcel of Railway land in Bandra East, Mumbai, offering Rs 5,400 crore for development rights on a 99-year lease, the company said in regulatory filings on Feb. 4-5, 2026. The Railway Land Development Authority (RLDA) opened financial bids for the 45,371 sq metre site, which adjoins the Western Express Highway and carries a floor space index potential of about 19.50 lakh sq ft. The company said it is awaiting communication from RLDA on next steps. The transaction comes as Bandra East remains a premium residential market — average rates in Q4 2025 stood at about Rs 63,440 per sq ft — and follows Oberoi’s modest Q3 FY26 performance, with consolidated net profit of about Rs 622.64 crore and revenues around Rs 1.5k crore. The win expands Oberoi’s pipeline and FSI-backed development capacity in one of Mumbai’s most valuable micro-markets, subject to approvals and project launches.

India and the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) signed terms of reference (ToR) on Feb. 5, 2026 to formally launch negotiations on a Free Trade Agreement (FTA). The ceremony in New Delhi was presided over by Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal. The ToR sets out the scope and modalities for talks between India and GCC members — Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain — restarting a process last active in 2006-08. New Delhi said the pact aims to boost bilateral trade, investment and labour mobility; millions of Indians work across the Gulf. Trade between India and the GCC rose to about $178.7 billion in 2024-25, with Indian exports near $57 billion and imports — largely crude oil and gas — at $121.7 billion. India has recent bilateral pacts with the UAE (2022) and an Oman CEPA signed in December 2025. Negotiators will now move to detailed chapters, with sensitive sectors such as energy, agriculture and tariffs likely to shape the pace and outcome of the talks.

Royal Dutch Shell on Feb. 5 reported a 22% fall in full-year adjusted earnings to $18.5 billion for 2025 and its weakest quarterly adjusted profit in nearly five years (about $3.3bn in Q4), as global oil prices tumbled. The group said it generated robust cashflow—cash from operations around $42.9bn for the year and free cash flow cited at roughly $26bn—while net debt rose to about $45.7bn. Management approved a 4% quarterly dividend increase to $0.372 per share and launched a $3.5bn share buyback to be completed in Q1, marking the 17th straight quarter of buybacks of at least $3bn.
