“Indian rupee appreciated by 0.10% on Monday amid weak US Dollar and positive domestic equities. Dollar breached the 108-mark and is trading about 1% lower decline in safe haven appeal on the back of improved global risk sentiments. Euro also surged by 1.3% on reports that Ukraine has retaken some towns and cities in the Kharkiv region which is a setback for Russia. Rupee also gained on FII inflows. We expect Rupee to with a positive tone as rise in risk appetite in global markets and a weak Dollar may support Rupee. Sustained FII inflows may also favor the Rupee. However, worries over global economic slowdown and recovery in crude oil prices may restrict sharp upside. USDINR spot price is expected to trade in a range of Rs 79 to Rs 80.30 in next couple of sessions.”

“Rupee rose marginally as the dollar was weighed down against major crosses and also as market participants remained cautious ahead of the important inflation and IIP number that will be released on yesterday. Data showed inflation accelerated to 7% in August, driven by a surge in food prices, putting more pressure on the central bank to hike interest rates again later this month.Food inflation, rose 7.62% year on year in August, compared to a revised 6.69% in July. On the other hand, India’s annual industrial output in July rose 2.4% year-on-year, compared with the revised 12.7% growth in the previous month.”

“The dollar fell to its lowest level in more than two weeks against its basket of currencies following recent strong gains, as investors grew nervous ahead of U.S. inflation data. The New York Fed’s monthly consumer expectations survey showed that U.S. consumers’ inflation expectations slid further in August as gasoline prices extended their steep decline from June’s record high.Euro surged as policymakers at the ECB see increasing risks that the central bank will need to hike its key interest rate to 2% or more to curb record inflation in the euro zone. Today, market participants will be keeping an eye on the German economic sentiment to gauge a view for the currency. We expect the USDINR(Spot) to trade sideways and quote in the range of 79.20 and 79.80.”
