Rupee steady before RBI policy meet


Reserve bank of India meeting will give an outlook for inflation and growth. Global investors are mulling manufacturing in India. There has been a change in law for  online sellers. Global brands can online sell in India if they along with their Indian counterpart manufacture (in India) three fourth of the products sold in India. Indirectly the government intends to allow foreign direct investment in single brand retail but with a rider to “Make in India”. These along other measures will result in continued US dollar inflows in India. 

Currency traders are expecting euro/usd to fall to 1.20 in the next one year. Rupee may be affected marginally by strong gains in the US dollar. Fiscal deficit reduction, food price inflation control and ability of the NDA government to ensure smooth passage of key reform bills in both houses of the parliament will affect the Indian rupee more than global factors. The Reserve bank of India is prepared for interest rates hike by the Federal Reserve upto one percent.

Rupee will fall if and only if short sellers come up and/or large Indian corporates start to sell. Better to remain on the sidelines. The upcoming banking holidays can result in two way movement till tomorrow.
