USD/INR rises as Trump trades continue to strengthen, Indian Rupee hits record low
The Indian Rupee remains under pressure near an all-time low in Wednesday’s Asian session.
Stronger USD and persistent foreign fund outflows continue to undermine the INR.
Investors brace for the US presidential election results on Wednesday.
The Indian Rupee (INR) attracts some sellers to an all-time low on Wednesday, pressured by a rise in the US Dollar (USD) and weakness in Asian peers after the polls showed Republican candidate Donald Trump ahead of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the US presidential election. Furthermore, significant outflows from domestic stocks continue to weigh on the local currency.
However, the downside risk for the INR might be limited by the routine actions taken by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to sell the USD to prevent significant depreciation in the Indian Rupee. Investors will closely monitor the outcome of the US election ahead of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting on Thursday. Meanwhile, Trump trades continue to rally as his odds improve. Analysts expect that the victory of Donald Trump could push the USD higher.
