Rupee steady as FOMC fails to shake currencies


FOMC statement is something which has been discounted by the markets. Interest rate hike will be there by the Federal Reserve this year, but increase global risks can change the outlook. Next in line is the US January private ADP numbers and US January nonfarm payrolls next week. Further gains of the US dollar against the euro and cable will be dependent on the ability to fall below and trade below this years low. 

On the domestic side, it is action time for divestment with the Coal India and other in the pipeline. Inflows will not be an issue for now. The recent consolidation phase in US dollar –Indian Rupee will be broken soon and a new range will be formed. One needs to trade very carefully in Japanese yen as it poised for a very big one way move in the next two weeks. The recent 51.50-54.50 trading range will be broken in the next two weeks and a new range will be formed.
