The USDINR pair opened higher today at 75.90 tracking weakness in Asian currencies. Offshore Yuan fell to a 9 month low, weighing on other Asian counterparts. Later, the USDINR pair erased almost all its intraday gains on likely foreign fund inflow and closed at 75.75 level, 3 paise higher from the previous close of 75.72. The inflows are mostly linked to Kotak Mahindra Bank's QIP, Bharti Airtel Equity raising & Vedanta Capital raising for delisting. Implied Vols as well as Onshore-offshore spread have come down easing pressure on the Rupee to some extent. The benchmark new 10 year bond yield is almost around 5.75% from last couple of sessions while the equities extended bullish momentum, gaining 1.88% for the day.
