Gupta, who is Vice President (VP), Commodity and Currency Research at IIFL Securities recommends a Sell on the November USDINR futures at 74.60 with a stop loss at 74.80 and target at 74.10. He said that the weakness was account of profit booking.  

Brokerage firm Motilal Oswal recommended a Buy on the 26 November USDINR futures at 74.25 CE while Sell on 74.75 CE.  

On Tuesday, the Dollar rose to the highest level in 16-months after the release of robust retail sales data, it said in its daily report. “We expect the USDINR (Spot) to trade sideways and quote in the range of 74.05 and 74.70,” the brokerage house said. 

The greenback was helped by Tuesday data which showed US retail sales rose faster-than-expected in October, potentially encouraging the US Federal Reserve to accelerate the tapering of its asset purchase programme, as inflation remains stubbornly high, a Reuters report said.      

INR vs other major currencies 

EURINR (18 November) – EURINR was also trading with weakness at trading at 84.12 on Wednesday around at this time, down by 0.52 per cent or 44 paise from the previous closing price of 84.56. It attained a high of 84.32 on the intraday basis.
