2) Rupee vs Dollar: The rupee appreciated by 20 paise to end at 81.62 against the US dollar on Tuesday, as strong buying in domestic stocks and weakness in the greenback bolstered investor sentiment.

It witnessed an intraday high of 81.36 and a low of 81.66 during the session. “Positive FII number sees rupee gain lost ground. However, crude oil prices have shown positive activity which may curb the ongoing euphoria as OPEC to announce production cuts amid slump in demand due to recession. The rupee is expected to trade in the 81.00-81.80 range,” said Jateen Trivedi, vice president research analyst at LKP Securities. “The rupee retreated from its all-time lows after the RBI raised rates by 50bps. The dollar rebounded from highs after the manufacturing PMI number released from the US came in below estimates.” Volatility in major crosses remains high as updates on changes in economic policies keep market participants on edge. Today, the focus will be on the factory order number to assess a dollar view. We expect USD/INR (spot) to trade in the range of 81.20-82.05,” said Gaurang Somaiya, currency and bullion analyst at Motilal Oswal Financial Services. PTI
