“USDINR CMP- 82.9750 (spot) Indian Rupee depreciated on Wednesday on strong Dollar and surge in global crude oil prices. We expect Rupee to trade with a slight negative bias on rising US Dollar and surge in crude oil prices. Risk aversion in global markets may also weigh on Rupee. However, a positive tone in domestic markets may support Rupee at lower levels. Traders may remain cautious ahead of US CPI data. USDINR spot price is expected to trade in a range of Rs 82.70 to Rs 83.30,” said Anuj Choudhary – Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
