Key points:
This article is a follow up to: Rupee likely to stay near record lows
The Indian rupee is set to trade with a slight depreciation bias, reflecting broader regional currency trends. The rupee (Symbol: USDINR) is anticipated to open largely unchanged from its previous close of 83.7275 against the US dollar.
This comes after the rupee hit a record low of 83.74, pressured by sustained dollar demand from local importers related to month-end payment outflows.
Picture: The Indian rupee continues to lose strength against the US dollar, as observed on the VT Markets app.
The dollar index (Symbol: USDX) stood at 104.6 after a marginal rise. Concurrently, most Asian currencies weakened slightly, with the Indian rupee leading losses. Despite such record lows over the past week, interventions by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) have ensured that the decline remains gradual.
Three other key central bank policy decisions this week also include:
The Bank of Japan (BoJ): Expected to address its interest rate policy on Wednesday.
The US Federal Reserve (“the Fed”): Likely to keep rates unchanged but will provide guidance on future policy through Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks.
The Bank of England (BoE): Set to announce its interest rate decision on Thursday.
These decisions are critical as they influence global economic sentiment and capital flows. The stance of the US Federal Reserve could have a broad impact. If the Fed signals a dovish outlook, the rupee might face further pressure against a strengthening dollar.
