OUTLOOK FOR TODAY: USD INR
We expect the rupee to trade on a mixed note against the dollar taking cues from weakness in the world markets & expected corrections in the domestic markets. Strength in the dollar index yet less than positive economic data from US will affect the movement of the dollar-rupee today.
Technical Outlook:
As seen on the daily chart, USDINR has bounced upwards sharply after a hammer candlestick pattern from a trend line support. It is likely that the counter will head upwards where, 60.80 is an significant resistance. On the downside, 59.90 is a crucial support. Momentum indicators are currently positively biased for the counter.
