The Indian Rupee (INR) trades on a flat note on Wednesday after reaching its all-time low in the previous session. The weakness in the local currency is expected to persist due to India's sluggish Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, persistent outflows in Indian markets, and significant US Dollar (USD) demand. Nonetheless, the downside for the INR might be limited amid the foreign exchange intervention by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) via USD sales.
Investors await the release of the HSBC India Services Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for fresh impetus, which is estimated to improve to 59.2 in November from 58.5 in October. If the reading shows a stronger-than-expected outcome, this could provide some support to the Indian Rupee. On the US docket, the ADP Employment Change report, final S&P Global Services PMI, ISM Services PMI and the Fed’s Beige Book will be published. Additionally, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell speech will be closely watched later in the day.
The Indian Rupee trades flat on the day. The constructive outlook of the USD/INR pair remains unchanged as the pair is well supported above the key 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The path of least resistance level is to the upside as the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands above the midline near 67.00, supporting the buyers in the near term.
The all-time high of 84.77 acts as the first upside barrier for USD/INR. A decisive break above the mentioned level could pave the way to the 85.00 psychological mark, en route to 85.50.
On the downside, a breach of the resistance-turned-support at 84.55 could drag the pair lower to 84.22, the low of November 25. The key contention level is located at 84.00, the 100-day EMA and round figure.
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.
