“Indian rupee touched a record low of 79.6875 yesterday on strong US Dollar and weak tone in domestic markets. FII outflows also weighed on Rupee. FII outflows on Tuesday stood at Rs. 1,565 crores. However, weak crude oil prices prevented a sharp fall in Rupee. India’s CPI in June cooled down slightly to 7.01% from 7.04% in May. Rupee is expected to trade remain weak on a strong Dollar and deteriorating global sentiments.”
“Dollar is expected to strengthen further as today’s US consumer inflation data is expected to rise to a cyclical high 8.8% in June from 8.6% in the previous month. If inflation continues to surge, it raises odds that US Federal Reserve may hike rates aggressively by 75 bps in its July policy. However, softness in crude oil may support rupee at lower levels. Rupee may trade in the range of 78.80-80.20 in next couple of sessions.”

“Rupee continued to remain under pressure and fell to its record lows following broader strength in the dollar against its major crosses. Market participants remained cautious ahead of the important CPI number from the US. Data showed Year-on-year consumer price growth accelerated to a scorching 9.1%, the hottest reading since November 1981, driven by an 11.2% monthly spike in gasoline prices. On the other hand, core CPI cooled down to an annual rate of 5.9%. The report raised odds that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates even more than the 75 basis points previously expected.”
“The Fed funds target rate have also now priced in the probability of a larger, 100 basis point, hike at the conclusion of its policy meeting later this month. Yields on longer-term Treasuries fell, making the so-called yield-curve inversion the most pronounced it has been in more than 20 years. Today, focus will be on the PPI number from the US to gauge a view for the dollar that has risen to the highest level in 20 years. We expect the USDINR(Spot) to trade with a positive bias and quote in the range of 79.40 and 80.00.”

“Domestic monetary markets are struggling to deal with document FII outflows and widening deficits, the RBI has been on the entrance foot by asserting a sequence of measures to carry again international capital and curb the USDINR volatility. Well, the onshore intraday volatility nonetheless appears to stay subdued amid RBI intervention who’s attempting to cap the losses within the rupee, nonetheless the identical hasn’t been fruitful because the USDINR pair opens at the next stage than the day gone by as witnessed previously few buying and selling periods. The rupee is more likely to set its new low at this time by opening round 79.75 ranges and the vary for the day might be between 79.50 to 80.00 ranges. If the massive determine 80 ranges are damaged, transfer in the direction of 81 shall be sharp and shortly.
