Rupee pares gains after Swiss Snub


Unconfirmed reports suggests that RBI started intervening in the markets as soon as news of Swiss abandoning the three year currency limits spread out. But nonetheless it was a technical trade for the rupee against the major currencies. Currency markets are still reeling under the Swiss snub and it remains to be seen how long the same lasts. There will be medium term to long term repercussion on the currency markets. European central bank meeting next week and the FOMC meet on 28th January. The swiss decision will have an impact on decision by these two big central banks. 

Trade carefully, that’s all I can comment for now. The first phase of correction is over the rupee (against the major currencies). The next wave will be there only on a fall below yesterday’s lows. RBI interest rate cut yesterday will be positive for the rupee in the medium term.
