Bias
The USD/LKR is above the 90-day average and sits in the upper half of the last three months' range, producing a clear bullish-to-range-bound bias that traders are watching for signs of a sustained move, as external pressures stay elevated.
Tweet: USD/LKR sits above the 90-day avg and near the upper end of the 3-month range. Markets eyed US payrolls and Fed rhetoric; a hotter print could push the dollar higher. If US data soften, rupee recovery could loom.
Key drivers
- Rate gap: The Fed is expected to cut policy rates toward a neutral stance in 2026, keeping the USD supported against the LKR as Sri Lanka's policy remains cautious.
- Macro factor: Upcoming US non-farm payrolls and unemployment data could influence Fed easing bets and USD strength. Markets will also watch domestic inflation.
Range
The pair is likely to hold within the recent range, with a drift toward the upper end if US data stay firm, and traders will watch policy guidance.
What could change it
- Upside risk: A hotter US payrolls print or hawkish Fed rhetoric that delays rate cuts, lifting the dollar.
- Downside risk: Softer US data or signals toward earlier easing, allowing the rupee to recover
