USD/INR gathers strength on renewed US Dollar demand, Fed’s Powell speech looms
- The Indian Rupee trades in negative territory in Tuesday’s Asian session.
- Higher US bond yields and further gains in crude oil prices weigh on the local currency.
- The Federal Reserve’s (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell's speech on Tuesday will be closely watched.
The Indian Rupee (INR) weakens on Tuesday amid the renewed US Dollar (USD) demand and higher US bond yields. Meanwhile, the further rise of crude oil prices amid fears of Middle East geopolitical risks exerts some selling pressure on the INR as India is the world’s third-largest oil consumer after the United States (US) and China.
Nonetheless, the optimism in the Indian economic outlook and portfolio inflows, including the country's sovereign bonds on account of their inclusion in the JPMorgan emerging market debt index, might lift the local currency and cap the pair’s upside. Investors will closely watch the speech by Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell on Tuesday for fresh impetus. On Wednesday, the attention will shift to India’s HSBC Services Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for June. Any signs of further expansion in the Indian services sector might boost the Indian Rupee and create a headwind for the pair.
Daily Digest Market Movers: Indian Rupee edges lower amid higher crude oil prices and US bond yields

Technical analysis: USD/INR might face consolidation or downside in the near term
The Indian Rupee trades weaker on the day. The USD/INR pair remains stuck within the familiar trading range on the daily chart. The bullish trend of the pair remains intact above the key 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). However, further consolidation or downside cannot be ruled out as the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) holds in bearish territory below the 50-midline.
Consistent trading above 83.65, a high of June 26, may take USD/INR back to the all-time high of 83.75. An upside breakout might extend its upswing to the 84.00 psychological level.
On the downside, any follow-through selling below the 100-day EMA of 83.35 might drag the pair lower to the 83.00 round figure. A breach of this level will see a drop to 82.82, a low of January 12.

Indian Rupee FAQs
The Indian Rupee (INR) is one of the most sensitive currencies to external factors. The price of Crude Oil (the country is highly dependent on imported Oil), the value of the US Dollar – most trade is conducted in USD – and the level of foreign investment, are all influential. Direct intervention by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in FX markets to keep the exchange rate stable, as well as the level of interest rates set by the RBI, are further major influencing factors on the Rupee.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) actively intervenes in forex markets to maintain a stable exchange rate, to help facilitate trade. In addition, the RBI tries to maintain the inflation rate at its 4% target by adjusting interest rates. Higher interest rates usually strengthen the Rupee. This is due to the role of the ‘carry trade’ in which investors borrow in countries with lower interest rates so as to place their money in countries’ offering relatively higher interest rates and profit from the difference.
Macroeconomic factors that influence the value of the Rupee include inflation, interest rates, the economic growth rate (GDP), the balance of trade, and inflows from foreign investment. A higher growth rate can lead to more overseas investment, pushing up demand for the Rupee. A less negative balance of trade will eventually lead to a stronger Rupee. Higher interest rates, especially real rates (interest rates less inflation) are also positive for the Rupee. A risk-on environment can lead to greater inflows of Foreign Direct and Indirect Investment (FDI and FII), which also benefit the Rupee.
Higher inflation, particularly, if it is comparatively higher than India’s peers, is generally negative for the currency as it reflects devaluation through oversupply. Inflation also increases the cost of exports, leading to more Rupees being sold to purchase foreign imports, which is Rupee-negative. At the same time, higher inflation usually leads to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) raising interest rates and this can be positive for the Rupee, due to increased demand from international investors. The opposite effect is true of lower inflation.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
