DAILY FOREX REPORT FOR EXPORTERS AND IMPORTERS
(inter-bank prices below)
FOMC and US nonfarm payrolls are there. They can change the direction of every currency. US dollar Index will zoom if it there is a clear indication of an interest rate before June. If not, then the US dollar Index will trade with a softer bias. Fundamental weakness of Eurozone has already been discounted in euro/usd prices. So any better than expected Eurozone economic number release will result in euro/usd rising. Cable is bullish and looks headed for 1.3500 in February.

India
Foreign portfolio investors have been net sellers in January. I do not think, rupee (usd/inr) will fall below 70.0000 in February, unless the US dollar sags. Interim budget will put a big dent in the fiscal position of India as it will be voter friendly. Fundamentals are weak for Indian rupee. I expect 70.000-72.000 wider trading range for the rupee (usd/inr) till end February.

US dollar-Indian Rupee (usd/inr CMP 71.0250):
One Support: 70.8950
One Resistance: 71.3750
o      Small sell off will be there below 71.2550. 70.8950.
o      Usd/in needs to trade over 71.1950 to rise further.
o      Better to remain on the sidelines till tomorrow.
Euro/Indian Rupee (Euro/inr CMP 81.1475):
One Support: 80.8950
One Resistance: 81.4450
o      200 day moving average at 81.4450 is the key resistance.
o      Euro/inr needs to trade over 80.8950 till Wednesday to rise to 81.8050.
o      Bearish trend will be there only below 80.8950.
Forward cover strategy for exporters: Use any 40-50 paisa rise (if any) to cover near term receivables.
Forward cover strategy for importers: Cover on spot basis.
UK Pound/Indian Rupee (Gbp/inr CMP 93.7500):
One Support: 93.4950

o      Small sell off will be there below 93.4950 today.
o      Look for signs of correction.
Forward cover strategy for exporters: Use stop loss below 91.6900 for near term receivables.
Forward cover strategy for importers: Cover on any 30-40 paisa fall for payables till next week.
Japanese Yen/Indian Rupee (Jpy/inr CMP 64.8800):

Euro/US dollar (euro/usd CMP 1.1424):
One Support: 1.1379
One Resistance: 1.1451

o      Initial support is at 100 week moving average at 13171 with 1.3088 as key support.
US dollar/Japanese Yen (usd/jpy CMP 109.34):
