US DOLLAR-INDIAN RUPEE (USD/INR) short term view

Short term fundamentals are bad for the Indian economy. Autos ales and other economic number releases portray a slowdown. Sharp rise in Food inflation will only decrease consumer spending on durables, decrease savings and increase debt.

Rupee has weakened against the US dollar this week. Global uncertainty along will election jitters has resulted in rupee trading over 70.00 against the US dollar. Next week election result will be the key. (1) Rupee will gain against the US dollar if and only if there is a stable coalition government at the centre. (2) An unstable government can result in rupee weakening to 73.00 against the US dollar. (3) The third and the most unlikely scenario is that of BJP getting a simple majority on the its own. If it happens then it see usd/inr falling to 66.00 in the immediate term.

One needs to brace for very high short term volatility. Be prepared for 3-4 one way price moves in the US dollar-Indian rupee anytime in the next thirty days.
