Rupee weakens as winters session of parliament is a big dud


Weakness in the rupee can persist this week too. The parliament winter session so far has been a big dud. Key legislative bills are yet to be passed. Global investors could delay their Indian expansion plans if there are any indication that it will be difficult to pass bills in both houses of the parliament. 

FOMC statement will be the key. Lack of inflationary pressure due to low energy prices can prompt Federal Reserve to change the interest rate stance for next year. Yearend short covering on the US dollar will be closely watched. Global currency trading volumes will fall after the FOMC meet. The direction of the Japanese Yen will be the key as Japanese elections are over.
