Interest rate cut failed to have any significant on the rupee. Indian stock markets have had a super duper past twelve months. My only concern is that a sharp profit taking in the stock markets (if any) will result in temporary weakness for the rupee. In case the Indian stock markets do not fall before month end, then rupee will consolidate in a wider range against the US dollar for the rest of the month. On the global front, European central bank meet will by significant if and only if they say something about easing.
Currency markets are closed tomorrow. Traders will start taking positions for Monday. There can be a wide divergence between today’s close and Monday open. Low risk traders need to be careful while opting to leave open positions for Monday.
