USD-INR

USDINR CMP- 83.28 (spot) Indian Rupee declined on Thursday pressurised by a weak tone in the domestic markets and a rise in US Dollar. We expect Rupee to trade with a slight negative bias as risk aversion in the global markets amid rising geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East may put pressure on Rupee. Rising US Dollar and surge in US bond yields may further pressurise the domestic unit. 10-year yields are at fresh cyclical highs amid higher-for-longer interest rate theme. However, any diplomatic efforts to contain the conflict in the Middle East may support Rupee at lower levels. Traders may take cues from weekly unemployment claims and existing home sales data from US. Investors may remain cautious ahead of US Federal Reserve Chair, Jerome Powell’s speech for some cues over monetary policy trajectory. USDINR spot price is expected to trade in a range of Rs 83 to Rs 83.60,” said Anuj Choudhary – Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
