Rupee waits for FOMC meet


There can be more short covering euro and cable before the FOMC meet tonight. The US dollar could see wider trading range. Incoming US economic data before the FOMC meet could force the Federal Reserve to adopt a less aggressive stance on interest rates. The US dollar is over brought. Once the FOMC statement comes out, traders will take positions for next week’s US January nonfarm payrolls. The finance minister has said that fiscal deficit will be maintained this year. India’s foreign exchange reserves at a record high and could rise even further as the quarter progresses. There are more positives for the rupee for now.
