Meanwhile, a Motilal Oswal report estimate the spot price to trade in the range between 73.40 and 74.05 throughout the day.  

Both, Gupta and this report recommend a Sell on the September USDINR futures ahead of the expiry on 28 September. Sell at 73.90 with a stop loss at 74.20 and target price at 73.40.  

Rupee consolidated in a narrow range for the whole of the last week despite the outcome of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) policy statement, where the Federal Reserve left rates unchanged and announced it will likely begin reducing its monthly bond purchases as soon as November.  

“On Friday, volatility for the dollar also remained low as improved risk sentiment wiped out recent gains amid easing concerns about contagion from a potential China Evergrande Group default. China injected fresh cash into its financial system later last week as embattled property giant Evergrande announced it would make interest payments on an onshore bond,” the Motilal Oswal report said. 

Motilal Oswal recommends Sell 74CE / SELL 73.50PE.
