The Indian Rupee (INR) weakens on Friday. The local currency depreciated to record lows again in the previous session amid weak domestic equities and sustained foreign fund outflows. Additionally, the rise in crude oil prices also weighed on the INR.
Donald Trump is expected to boost the US Dollar (USD) and push US yields higher, driven by anticipated populist measures that could increase borrowing, inflation, and yields. This, in turn, might contribute to the INR’s downside. However, the downward movement of the local currency might be limited as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is likely to intervene in the market by selling the USD to avoid excess volatility.
Looking ahead, traders will keep an eye on the advanced US Michigan Consumer Sentiment data for November. Also, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) Michelle Bowman is scheduled to speak later on Friday.
The Indian Rupee trades softer on the day. According to the daily chart, the USD/INR pair remains in a bullish trend as the price holds above the key 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Nonetheless, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is over the midline near 75.0, suggesting an overbought condition. This means that additional consolidation should not be ruled out before positioning for any short-term USD/INR appreciation.
A move above the upper boundary of the ascending trend channel at 84.30 could pave the way for the next hurdle at 84.50, followed by the 85.00 psychological level.
On the other hand, a breach of the lower limit of the trend channel and the high of October 11 at the 84.05-84.10 region could draw in selling pressure to 83.82, the 100-day EMA. Further south, the next contention level is seen at 83.46, the low of September 24.
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.
