Euro 60 billion quantitative easing a month till September 2016 was proposed by the European central bank yesterday. Euro continues to fall as a result of this move. Rupee and other Asian currencies could gain as some of the ECB free money will move into better performing Asian nations. India is one the best performing Asian nations. Indian rupee will gain. But gains will be dependent on a technical break down levels of 60.90 (usd/inr, inter-bank).
Next week FOMC meet could use a softer tone on interest rate hike. A softer tone by the FOMC (if any) can result in rupee fall below 60.00 against the US dollar in the inter-bank market.
