FUNDAMENTAL
\n OVERVIEW<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

USD:<\/p>\n

The US dollar has been under pressure in the past few days following the
\n surprisingly soft US inflation figures. The data triggered a dovish repricing
\n in interest rate expectations with traders scaling back significantly the
\n probabilities for a rate hike in July which is now comfortably off the
\n table.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The Fed is now expected to raise interest rates in October at the earliest
\n with a fully priced hike in December. The US-Iran crisis in the background is
\n keeping inflation risks skewed to the upside, so the downside in the greenback
\n should remain limited without a clear de-escalation. <\/p>\n

INR:<\/p>\n

On the INR side, the
\n Rupee has been under pressure after the US-Iran crisis erupted and oil prices
\n started to surge. <\/p>\n

This pressure is
\n likely to persist the longer the conflict drags on. The Rupee will need a clear
\n de-escalation to trigger a relief rally and erase the recent losses. <\/p>\n

In the big
\n picture, the Indian Rupee remains on a bearish structural trend against the US dollar,
\n so dip-buyers will continue to look for opportunities around strong technical
\n levels to keep pushing the USD\/INR pair into new highs. <\/p>\n

USDINR TECHNICAL
\n ANALYSIS \u2013 DAILY TIMEFRAME<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

On the daily
\n chart, we can see that USDINR<\/a>broke above the key resistance zone around the 96.10 level and
\n extended the buyers increase the bullish bets targeting new record highs. If we
\n get a pullback, we can expect the buyers to lean on the trendline and the old
\n resistance-turned-support to keep pushing into new highs. The sellers, on the
\n other hand, will want to see the price breaking below the trendline to open the
\n door for a drop into the 94.00 handle next.<\/p>\n

USDINR TECHNICAL
\n ANALYSIS \u2013 4 HOUR TIMEFRAME<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

On the 4 hour
\n chart, we have another trendline defining the bullish momentum on this
\n timeframe. The buyers will likely continue to lean on the trendline with a
\n defined risk below it to keep pushing into new highs. The sellers, on the other
\n hand, will want to see the price breaking lower to extend the pullback into the
\n 96.10 support next.<\/p>\n

USDINR TECHNICAL
\n ANALYSIS \u2013 1 HOUR TIMEFRAME<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

On the 1 hour
\n chart, there\u2019s not much we can add here as the buyers will have better risk to
\n reward setups around the trendline to keep targeting new highs, while the
\n sellers will need downside breaks to push into new lows.<\/p>\n

UPCOMING CATALYSTS<\/p>\n

Today<\/a>, we conclude the
\n week with the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey, but the focus
\n will remain on US-Iran headlines.<\/p>\n
