Rupee stable ahead of Easter vacations


Traders and investors will now start taking positions for Monday. Value date in the cash spot market also shifts to Monday which can result in gains for the rupee. I continue to believe that the fundamental reasons for a firm euro/usd is not justified and that it should fall. This should happen from latter half of next week when trading volumes return to normal after Easter vacations. Better to trade intraday only till Monday. 

I am a bit bearish on Indian stock markets and expect a five percent correction in the next one month. The correction in Indian equity markets should come either before the Federal reserve meet on 30th April or before the election results on 16th May. However this time around sharp falls in Indian equity market will not in big weakness for the rupee as the RBI is better prepared to deal with such exigencies.
