In what will be a bout of billionaires in the telecom, the 5G auction today will see the likes of Adani, Ambani and Airtel battle it out for 72 GHz of radiowaves worth Rs 4.3 lakh crores.Jio, it is expected, will lead the spends, followed by Bharti Airtel while analysts see limited participation from Vodafone Idea and Adani Group.
Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Jio has made a Rs 14,000 crore Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) while rival Adani group made a modest Rs 100 crore deposit recently.
EMD itself is reflective of the quantity of airwaves a company can bid for in the auction. By the EMD amount (Rs 100 cr) many are speculating that the world's fourth richest man, Gautam Adani is initially looking to grab 5G just for internal/captive use for the group.For the upcoming auction, Sunil Mittal-led Bharti Airtel had put in Rs 5,500 crore as EMD while for Vodafone Idea the amount stands at Rs 2,200 crore which surprised many onlookers as the company has faced severe funding pressures. 
The bidding process is scheduled to start on Tuesday from 10 am and go on till 6 pm.
The number of days of auction will depend on the actual demand for radiowaves and strategy of individual bidders, sources in the Department of Telecom told news agency PTI.

Ahishkumar Chauhan is set to become the new managing director and CEO of the National Stock Exchange as capital markets regulator Sebi has given its clearance for his appointment, the exchange said on Sunday.
Chauhan, who is currently the MD and CEO of BSE, will be appointed for a period of five years. The tenure of Chauhan, who has been with BSE since 2009, is scheduled to end in November.
He will be taking over the helm of NSE from Vikram Limaye, whose five-year term ended on Saturday. Limaye did not seek another tenure at the NSE despite being eligible for it.
In a statement, the NSE said that the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has approved the name of Chauhan as the MD and CEO of NSE.
His appointment is subject to acceptance of the offer made to him and fulfilment of terms and conditions including approval from the shareholders of NSE, the statement noted.
In the interim, an internal executive committee has been constituted by the governing board of NSE for running the affairs of the company till the new MD and CEO assumes charge. The committee will be dissolved upon the new chief assuming office.
The internal executive committee comprises Yatrik Vin, Group CFO & Head Corporate Affairs, Priya Subbaraman, Chief Regulatory Officer, Somasundaram KS, Chief Enterprise Risk & Information Security Officer and Shiv Kumar Bhasin, Chief Technology & Operations Officer.
Chauhan, who is one of the founders of NSE, has the uphill task of guiding the exchange, which is facing the regulatory probe in a case pertaining to governance lapses at the bourse as well as in the co-location matter.
The co-location scam resulted in ouster and later arrest of its former MD and CEO Chitra Ramkrishna.
Also, all eyes are now on the BSE that who will get the top job at the exchange after the departure of Chauhan. BSE has already begun the search for a new MD and CEO.
Under the new market infrastructure institution (MII) rules, the head of an MII is allowed a maximum of two terms of five years each.
Chauhan, a technocrat from IIT and IIM, is considered the father of modern financial derivatives in India due to his work at NSE from 1993-2000. He is also the creator of Nifty index and was in charge of creating the first screen-based trading. He started his career as a banker with IDBI.
At BSE, Chauhan helped it become the world's fastest exchange with 6 microseconds response time, completed its IPO, revived its revenues, introduced mobile stock trading to India, diversified in new areas including currency, commodities and equity derivatives, SME, start-ups, mutual fund and insurance distribution, spot markets and power trading.
In addition, Chauhan has the experience of successfully handling the initial public offering (IPO) of BSE. This was one of the eligibility criteria NSE was looking in its next chief.
The NSE is planning to come out with its initial share-sale since long. However, the plan to go public derailed after the bourse got embroiled into colocation controversy, where certain brokers were allegedly given unfair access to the exchange data feeds over other members.
In March, NSE invited applications from candidates for the role of MD and CEO. The applications were invited from candidates having IPO experience for the top post job.

Rupee at 80 may be the headline but the star of the story is Dollar as the script and casting for the rout is not homegrown. Simply speaking, it is Dollar which is king and rupee an unfortunate victim of the turn of events -geo political and economic

Explained: Rupee at 80, what got it here and what it means for you 

The dollar continues to gain vs emerging market currencies

<a href="https://www.editorji.com/business-news/markets/rupee-at-80-set-to-hit-historic-low-today-vs-usd-1657852856569" target="_blank">Rupee at 80</a> may be the headline but the star of the story is Dollar as the script and casting for the rout is not homegrown. Simply speaking, it is Dollar which is king and rupee an unfortunate victim of the turn of events - geo political and economic.&nbsp;
<h3>Tracking the tumble</h3>
From an average rate of 73.93/$ in 2021 rupee has tumbled over 27 times to hit new record low in this year itself, tumbling over 6.5%. To paint a true picture it is not the rupee falling but the dollar rising. The dollar has risen to a 20 year high vs a basket of currency adding pressure across the globe. Euro has hit parity vs the dollar, something unseen in 20 years. The Japanese Yen continues to struggle at 24 year low as well.&nbsp;
<h3>Why is the Rupee hit so hard?</h3>
India's large amount of dues in dollars because of large import bill leaves the fifth biggest economy in the world more exposed to pressure as the dollar gains and it has to shell out far more currency to make pay debt. As the world&rsquo;s third largest oil importer, India is vulnerable to rising oil prices and in turn the rising demand for dollars to make those payments.&nbsp;
<h3>Dollar payments pile up</h3>
Its not just the household budgets that have been hit with high prices, it is playing havoc with North Blocks balance sheet as well. India&rsquo;s trade deficit, the gap between imports and exports&nbsp; - widened the most on record in June to $25.63 billion adding more pressure to the rupee as demand for dollars to make those payments rises.&nbsp;
<h3>Don't we have reserves, what is the RBI doing?</h3>
RBI's forex reserves have fallen by $42 billion dollars since Februrary and is now at&nbsp; the lowest in more than 14 months at $588.3 billion as of July 1. The central bank has intervened directly into the forex markets as well via tools such as restricting gold imports, allowing settlement in rupee for external trade. But this is a global rout so intervention and course correction may be a tough ask for Governor Shaktikanta Das.&nbsp; 
<h3>Who to blame - Putin or Powell?</h3>
Oil has what has boiled India's import bill with Russia's invasion of Ukraine creating global fuel shortages. In fact for every $1 increase in the price of oil, India&rsquo;s import bill increases by $2.1 billion. Putin to petrol to payments that has really been the domino effect. Another side effect and a bigger one has been from Jerome Powell, historic hikes from the US Central bank has made dollar denominated investments more attractive, and as globally economies slow risk aversion rises and FIIs start to park money to safer slower investments mostly dollar based.&nbsp;
<h3>What is the endgame?&nbsp;</h3>
With global central banks playing catch up on rates with Powel being the pied piper, traders expect dollar to gain more from here so emerging market currencies such as the rupee are likely to see more pain.&nbsp;

Central bankers from Canada to India are raising rates at an unprecedented rate as price rise continues to haunt economies with worsening inflation reports.  The tightening of liquidity and the higher cost of money has thrown markets into a bear grip as global indices tumble 20% from record highs.

The rate on the USD INR is giving investors heart ache as the rupee slid to yet another record low vs the dollar. Bets are now rising for the rupee to slide all the way to Rs 80/$. But it is not the rupee weakness but the dollar dominance that is in the spotlight which now has the Euro nearing parity with dollar and the pound hitting two-year low. So what does this mean for your portfolio, Editorji spoke with Nasser Salim, Managing Partner at Flexi Capital who sees more near term pain as the greenback is expected to gain further. Nasser Salim, Managing Partner Flexi CapitalThese are very peculiar times as far as the capital markets, the fixed income markets, the currency markets are concerned. We personally feel that there is some more, trouble as expected because, you know, it's all linked basically to interest rates which are globally moving higher.
However, we are also of the opinion that this is in the near term inching towards its its peak. We think in the US interest rates are going to start peaking over the next 3-6 months. And therefore the dollar will not appreciate more beyond maybe, or plus minus 1 -1.5% from here on.

Top 5 'fat-finger' trades that rocked global marketsJapan's Jitters with $711 Billion Blunder2014: In what could have been one of most expensive fat-finger trades ever. Someone placed more than 40 erroneous orders in some of Asia’s largest corporations, representing hundreds of billions of dollars of business.
