The rupee is anticipated to depreciate on Friday amid sturdy greenback. However, buyers will stay vigilant forward of US CPI knowledge, which might present clues on the long run path of financial coverage tightening, in response to ICICI Direct. “US$INR is expected to continue its upward trend and break its key resistance level of 77.95. We expect US$INR to trade in the range of 77.80 to 78.00,” the brokerage stated. In the earlier session, rupee depreciated towards the US greenback, weighed down by elevated crude oil costs and chronic international capital outflows.

“Dollar consolidated in a narrow range despite gains in domestic equities and broader gains in the dollar against its major crosses. Earlier this week, the RBI decided to raise rates and dropped its “accommodative” stance, signalling stricter tightening forward to combat hovering inflation. Broader positive factors within the greenback have been forward of inflation knowledge that will likely be launched from the US later at the moment. Next week, focus will likely be on the FOMC coverage assertion and that’s prone to set off additional volatility for the greenback that has been gaining energy steadily. We count on the USDINR(Spot) to commerce with a optimistic bias and quote within the vary of 77.40 and 78.20.”

“Once more a quiet day as USDINR danced close to its all time high, near 77.88 on spot. Today’s high was 77.80. Possibly RBI intervention kept the pair in check. At the lack of large-scale positioning from speculators indicates that market still does not have the force to push prices higher. As a result, option remains the game in town, along with dip buying using futures. As long as spot is not breaking below 77.40, bias remains upward.”

“On Thursday, the local currency was seen tumbling to an all-time low against USD around 77.81 after Adani’s outflow was heard over the street. Fortunately, RBI managed to protect from a sharp slide. The question remains with us- until when RBI will be able to control the Rupee against the weaker fundamentals? Today, the Rupee is about to open near a record low of 77.80 and is expected to trade in a range of 77.60 to 78.00 with a weakening bias. The focus turns towards today’s US CPI data as recently energy prices in the US have been again on a bullish ride.”
“In nutshell, higher than expected US inflation could again send US yields higher, equities lower and the US dollar higher against the DM and EM currencies. Against this backdrop, RBI’s approach could suppress the aggressive volatility and rates. Overall, the pair is expected to face resistance near 77.80-85 levels. If it convincingly trades above this level then further move towards 78-78.10 can be expected. On flipside, 77.40-50 zone will act as a crucial short-term support.”
