Rupee gains mildly as markets reopen after Diwali


Holidays are over. There are no more continuous big holidays for the next few months. The finance minister asking for an interest rate cut may be accepted by the Reserve Bank of India as inflation will remain on the softer side for the next few months (unless global crude oil prices zoom). The FOMC meet this week will be the key and can set the direction for the US dollar for the rest of the year. The direction of US interest rate for next year will be the key. 

There will be position squaring and rebuilding as October future expire. Short term futures and options traders will start taking position for December series. Fundamentals of the Indian economy will be the key till March 2015. There still needs to be more evidence that Indian economy will be able to withstand global shocks as well domestic shocks in the form of excess weather changes among others. 

Fundamentals will be the key for emerging market currencies for the next six months apart from the ability to absorb higher energy shocks (if any).
