Mr Amit Pabari, MD, CR Forex:
''Despite the equity market's outperformance, Rupee has been in the range of 73.00-75.00 zone over the last few months as RBI is managing it closely. Further, unexpected growth in the US, elevated inflation, and steady job market favours tapering case and hence bullish for USD against its peers. This could keep the rupee regularly in check.
In a nutshell, the tussle between ‘RBI/importers' and ‘inflows' continue further and hence Rupee could trade in the tight range of 73.30 to 73.80 over the short term and 73 to 74.20 over the medium term. The bias is likely to remain on the upside.''
''COMEX gold trades little changed near $1756/oz after a sharp 2.1 per cent decline yesterday. Weighing on gold is upbeat US economic data which strengthened the case for Fed's monetary tightening. However, supporting price is rising inflation concerns, persisting virus risks, concerns about the health of the Chinese economy and increased geopolitical tensions.ETF inflows also showed some buying interest at lower levels however the pace was modest. Gold's sharp fall has dented market sentiment however we believe that market reaction to US data was exaggerated and price may stabilize near $1750/oz level,'' said Mr Ravindra Rao, CMT, EPAT, VP- Head Commodity Research at Kotak Securities.
