“USDINR CMP- 83.25 (spot) The Indian Rupee depreciated slightly on Friday on weak domestic markets and a overnight gains in the US Dollar. FII outflows also weighed on the Rupee. However, robust macroeconomic data from India supported Rupee at lower levels. We expect Rupee to trade with a slight positive bias better than expected domestic macroeconomic data. However, hawkish data from US and risk aversion in global markets may cap a sharp upside. Traders may take cues from University of Michigan consumer sentiment and inflation expectations. USDINR spot price is expected to trade from Rs 82.90 to Rs 83.70.”
