USD to LKR Market Data
US dollar (USD) to Sri Lankan rupee (LKR) market data - latest interbank exchange rate, trend, chart & historic rates.
Bias: Range-bound, as USDJPY sits above its 90-day average and near the upper end of the 3-month range, but policy signals are mixed due to diverging central bank paths.
Bias
USD/LKR: bullish-to-range-bound, above the 90-day avg and near the high end of the 3-month range. Fed easing later this year implied; oil volatility keeps USD bids firm and rupee under pressure. US payrolls data could tilt carry trades.
Key drivers
- Rate gap: US Fed policy is expected to ease later this year, while Sri Lanka continues to manage policy to defend the rupee, balancing inflation risks with capital outflow pressures.
- Risk/commodities: Oil price volatility keeps USD bids firm and raises Sri Lanka’s import costs, pressuring the rupee further when energy bills rise.
- Macro factor: forthcoming US payrolls and unemployment data could shape Fed easing expectations and influence appetite for carry trades.
Range
The pair is likely to drift near the high end of its 3-month range, with occasional tests of the top if demand remains firm and local news disinflates uncertainty.
What could change it
- Upside risk: a stronger-than-expected US data print or hawkish Fed commentary could push USD higher, especially if yields firm and global risk appetite stays cautious.
- Downside risk: softer US data or clear signals of Fed rate cuts could ease USD and calm LKR pressure, inviting some rupee reversal toward the middle of the range
