The Indian rupee marked the fifth weekly gain in a row, earlier this kind of move was seen in November 2021, following a corrective move in the greenback since mid-December while Asian currencies strengthen after China re-opening. The dollar inflows in the debt markets and direct investment in start-ups further added gains in the rupee. In the week gone, spot USDINR fell 21 paise or 0.26% to 81.125. Spot USDINR could further decline in the coming days following broad-based weakness in the greenback and expectation of foreign fund inflows through Adani FPO and PSU bank bond issuance. Technically, the bearish trend could continue in the near term as it has formed an inverted hammer on the weekly chart.
CFTC Position: In the Forex market, the flow was skewed towards risk reduction. Speculators covered shorts in yen (12.4k), sterling (4.8k), CAD (3.7k), and MXN (4.7k) while selling longs in euro (8k) and kiwi (1.3k.) The aggregate dollar short rose by about $800 million on the week. EM stocks extended gains as most of the Federal Reserve members support a 25bps hike next meeting before the onset of the pre-FOMC blackout.
What to Watch: In China, business and data will pause for the Lunar New Year. India also has a truncated week with the Republic day holiday on Thursday. As the Fed enters the blackout period ahead of its Jan.31-Feb.1 meeting, markets have priced in a smaller (25bps) hike. The traders will eye on upcoming PCE deflator, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge will bolster that market view, at least at first glance.
