USD/INR appreciates as traders adopt caution ahead of Fed policy

The post USD/INR appreciates as traders adopt caution ahead of Fed policy appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Indian Rupee may regain its ground due to expected progress on a US-India trade agreement. USD/INR’s downside could be restrained due to importer hedging demand and potential RBI dollar-buying interventions. The INR may struggle due to improved crude oil prices, driven by OPEC+’s decision to ramp up production more quickly.

This favorable response may encourage additional foreign investment, further strengthening the Rupee. The downside for the USD/INR pair may be capped by importer hedging demand and potential dollar-buying interventions by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The central bank is expected to continue bolstering its foreign exchange reserves, which have risen for the eighth straight week, reaching a more than six-month high of $688 billion as of April 25.
