Currently, CAD/INR is trading close to 7-day lows near 69.19, holding near its recent range’s lower edge. The pair reflects elevated risk-off conditions, supported by geopolitical tensions and commodity shocks. Over the next few sessions, it may remain supported by risk aversion, but the tendency towards weakening suggests the pair could face pressure if global risk conditions worsen further.

- Risk/commodities: Elevated geopolitical tension and sustained high oil prices sustain risk-off flows.

⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A reduction in geopolitical tensions or oil prices could ease risk-off flows.
- Downside risk: Worsening global geopolitics or commodity prices might deepen the pair’s weakness.
