The Reserve Bank of India stepped in on Friday to support the rupee, allowing it to fall below the 88 level, which caught market participants by surprise.<\/p>\n<p>The Rupee will be looking for some improvement in trade relations between entering the US in order to stage any form of recovery.<\/p>\n<p>The RBI has a track record of intervening to curb excessive volatility, particularly during periods of heightened uncertainty. However, the RBI has repeatedly stated that it doesn&#8217;t target a specific exchange rate.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the US raised tariffs on Indian imports by 25% to a total of 50%, which is expected to hurt India&#8217;s export competitiveness, particularly in the textiles and engineering goods sectors.<\/p>\n<p>The US Dollar rose against the Rupee but fell versus its major peers.

The data showed that core PCE rose 2.9% year on year up from 2.8%. However, the data didn&#8217;t change fed rate cut expectations, with the market still pricing in at 87% probability of the Fed cutting interest rates.<\/p>\n<p>This week has a busy economic calendar, but attention will mainly fall on US non-farm payroll data on Friday, which could make or break Fed rate cut bets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indian Rupee (INR) fell after gains last week Concerns mount over US tariffs at 50% US Dollar (USD) is falling versus major peers US core PCE rose to 2.9% The US dollar-to-Indian rupee (USD\/INR) exchange rate fell on Monday after gains across last week.
