Investors are optimistic on tomorrow’s finance budget. Rupee traders are on the sidelines. There is perception that global inflows into India will increase after the budget and for the rest of the year. I will be looking at weak signs in the Finance Budget tomorrow which can result in outflows from India and then take a call on the medium term direction of the rupee.

(I myself personally prefer road travel for upto two hundred kilometers from Delhi).
