After a pandemic ravaged year, the risk sentiments are ending 2020 on a positive note on the back of US fiscal stimulus, Brexit deal and coronavirus vaccine. However, until the global economy is capable of recovering at a rapid pace once COVID-19 is defeated, the upside risk to USDINR spot will remain intact. With the viable vaccine’s ability to battle even the transmissible variant of the virus, the worries of further lockdowns has been eased. So what happens to Indian rupee largely depends on how the major economies control the virus in 2021. In USDINR spot, since the beginning of Dec, the psychological level of 74 has not been breached and the spot is trading below that. So we expect the short term range to be 73-74, only either side breakout will provide further clarity over the trend: Rahul Gupta, Head of Research- Currency, Emkay Global Financial Services

Domestically, sentiments got boosted as reports stated that the Serum Institute of India was expecting emergency use of approval from regulators in the next few days. For rupee, inflows and dollar weakness is pulling rupee towards the stronger side whereas RBI holding the reins tight, is preventing any sharp gains in the pair. With Asian currencies remaining positive, rupee is likely to remain biased on the appreciation side in the near term, but gains past 73.00 levels seems less likely due to RBI’s intervention. The broad range of rupee between 73.00-74.00 still remains in place, therefore, buy on dips near 73.00-73.40 and sell on upticks between 73.70-74.00 remains ideal for selling in the near term: Amit Pabari, managing director, CR Forex Advisors

"The bull run continued for the 5th consecutive day on the back of FII flows which show no signs of abating. In fact, FII inflows may accelerate, going forward, since the weakness in the dollar continues with the dollar index dipping below 90. How long this inflows will continue? How high the indices can go? These are questions which cannot be answered with certainty now. Investors need to be cautious since there is no comfort in valuations.
