The Indian Rupee recovers on the weaker Greenback in Monday’s Asian session.
Renewed US Dollar demand, India’s foreign outflows and geopolitical risks might weigh on the INR.
The Fed is widely expected to keep rates unchanged at its July 30-31 meeting.
The Indian Rupee (INR) gains traction on Monday amid the softer US Dollar (USD). The upside for INR is likely to be limited after reaching an all-time low last week, pressured by continuous USD demand from oil importers and India’s outflows from local equities. Additionally, the rising geopolitical risks in the Middle East might boost the safe-haven Greenback ahead of the key US events this week. On the other hand, traders expect the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to continue intervening in the foreign exchange (FX) market to limit volatility. This, in turn, might cap the pair’s upside in the near term.
The US Federal Reserve (Fed) Interest Rate Decision will take centre stage on Wednesday, with no change in rate expected. Investors will take cues from Fed Chair Jerome Powell's remarks to gauge the future path of US interest rates. Any dovish comments from the Fed officials or hope of a rate cut by the Fed in September might drag the Greenback lower. Later this week, the attention will shift to the Indian HSBC Manufacturing PMI on Thursday and the US Nonfarm Payrolls for July on Friday.
