USDINR : Weekly Outlook 15-19 April 2013



Technical Outlook
USDINR : Rupee on daily timeframe in technical chart suggest that market will remain range-bound for the week. The pair is likely to find it tough to breach 54.93 level and keep continue trading between 54.41-54.91, however for dollar to reach 55.09 level, a close above 54.93 can only confirm any further upside in the pair.RSI is still moderate and remain in range of 50-57 last week, which suggest Rupee is finding support on every correction and resistance on any downfall, still far and large any directional move on either side can’t be predicted considering the behavior of market in last few weeks. It has not provided any confirm signal on either side and could continue so in couple of sessions too. Still we keep our view intact on rupee that on the downside 55.70 is on chart and on upside 53.85. To confirm any direction on market it need to breach 54.34-54.93 range. Breach of this range is likely to limited in coming trading session. For the week rupee may strengthen if it hold below 54.87.  
Fundamental Outlook
Finance minister will seek to drum up foreign investment from the United States and Canada this week to fund a record high current account deficit, even as policymakers debate the risks of over-reliance on foreign investors to finance the gap. As P Chidambaram kicks off a week-long North America trip, his officials are working on a series of steps to attract at least $20 billion in new investment to fund the deficit without depleting India's $300 billion in foreign exchange reserves. The proposals include raising the cap on foreign investment in rupee-denominated government debt by up to $5 billion, reducing tax rates on such investments, making it easier for Indian firms to borrow abroad, and easing curbs on foreign investment in sensitive sectors such as defense, telecoms and media, finance and trade officials told Reuters.
This week we have two crucial data on inflation and government trade deficit. A better than expected number both in terms of food inflation and fuel inflation could help to change the view of RBI on rate policy. A lower trade deficit from its previous $14.9B can ease the pressure on govt to curb CAD and helps rupee to recover as the confidence will be better with investors.
