The Indian Rupee is trading near 7-day lows against the US dollar at around 0.010482, staying close to its 3-month average. Despite this slight weakening, the INR has been quite stable within a narrow 2.8% range.
Strong support for the US dollar continues amid market expectations of Federal Reserve rate hikes, driven by recent robust US jobs data and rising energy prices. These factors are keeping the dollar resilient, which can indirectly weigh on the INR.
On the external front, escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, especially with rising oil prices, remain a key risk for the INR. Oil price increases can hurt India's current account and further support dollar demand. Meanwhile, foreign portfolio outflows and the RBI’s flexible exchange rate stance suggest some downward pressure on the rupee.
Long-term forecasts show mixed views, with some analysts expecting the USD/INR to stay within the 95.00 to 96.00 range, but risks of a move above 98.00 remain if tensions escalate further. Overall, the INR’s near-term outlook remains cautious, influenced by global geopolitical developments and energy market trends.
