Rupee steady before FOMC meet outcome tonight


Tonight and tomorrow are big days for global financial markets due to FOMC meet and Scottish Independence vote. The NDA government has not been able to reduce the basic prices of fruits and vegetables. The one of the key reason for the losses of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) in the various assembly elections. This is good for the people as well as the nation. NDA government will further ponder and ensure that basic cost of survival falls further. Big ticket policy announcements will be there after Diwali as the state elections are there on 15th October. Headline inflation can come down further due to higher base effect.

In case the rupee weakens further (after the FOMC meet) tomorrow, importers will be forced to cover their short term payables. Financial year half yearly close will also increase intraday volatility.
