Rupee falls to five month low after RBI surprised market with GSAP-1 HDFC Securities

Rupee depreciated for the second week in row, marked biggest weekly decline after March 2020 as market participants remained concerned about a new wave of coronavirus infections and localized lockdowns may hamper business recovery. The currency has seen a rapid slide against dollar over the past few days amid a sharp unwinding of carry positions, built around $50b. Also, the drum beat of inflation fears will ramp up in coming month after RBI’s formal adoption of quantitative easing last week where they committed to buy 1t rupees of bonds this quarter. This seems an immediate trigger in rupee sell-off.

Spot USDINR jumped 2.23% to 74.75 a dollar in the week gone. The pair is expected to consolidate in the range of 75.15 to 74.30 in holiday truncated week. The forex market will remain close on Tuesday and Wednesday on Account of Gudi Padwa and Dr. Ambedkar Jayanti respectively. The focus will remain on spread of virus and economic data which will decide the trend of currency.

The worries over second and third virus waves are hitting countries from France to Brazil and India hard, with lockdowns and curfews cramping citizens and economies desperate to reemerge from Covid-19 restrictions.

US Dollar has undergone considerable selling pressure over the last few trading sessions along with Treasury yields. US Dollar gave away about one-third of gains recorded by the DXY Index during the first quarter. This was followed by unwavering dovish guidance conveyed in recent Fed speeches.

CFTC Data: The flows were skewed toward more dollar buying, with sales notable in the euro (6.2k), sterling (5k), AUD (8.2k) and CAD (6.5k). There was small buying of 1.5k yen. The aggregate dollar short fell by another $2 billion during the week, and now stands at a fairly modest $4 billion.
