Rupee Vs Dollar: Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury at Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP
Indian rupee likley to open at 82.05 after the dollar index fell to below 110 levels and US 10 year fell to 4.00%. The probable reason for this fall is slower rate hikes from US in November-22 despite inflation being higher.
The rise in oil prices from $ 90 per barrel to $ 94 per barrel would cap the rise in rupee as Oil is a major import for the country. Oil companies and importers will use this opportunity to buy dollars at a cheaper rate.
The range for the day is expected to be 81.80 to 82.40 as most Asian currencies have also risen from their recent lows. The KRW was at 1415 from 1435 and CNH was at 7.19 from 7.36.
Exporters may now sell on rise after the stop loss of 82.50 is breached while importers can buy dollars near to 82 levels to hedge their payables.
