Indian Rupee: Likely to extend recovery
The Indian rupee is expected to recover further ground, extending recovery from last week as local shares look set to open higher on Monday as traders return to their desks after a long holiday weekend. Asian markets were mostly higher this morning after China unveiled a special action plan over the weekend to revive consumption. While positive global cues may help underpin sentiment, caution ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, tariff-related developments and FII selling could lead to some volatility as the day progresses. On Thursday, rupee surged 17 paise to settle at 87.05 against the US dollar following robust macroeconomic data and easing crude oil prices. Besides, recent weakness in the US dollar index also supported the local currency. However, losses in domestic equities and unabated foreign capital outflows capped the sharp gain.
