• The Indian Rupee weakens in Thursday’s Asian session. 
• A muted sentiment in Indian markets and a firmer USD undermine the INR. 
• The US CPI inflation data will take center stage on Thursday. 

The Indian Rupee (INR) trades on a weaker note on Thursday. A muted trend in the domestic market and a stronger US Dollar (USD) weigh on the local currency. However, robust Indian macroeconomic fundamentals and the inclusion of government bonds in global indices would attract foreign investors and lift the INR. 

The release of the key US Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data will be the highlight on Thursday. The US Initial Jobless Claims will be released on the same day, and the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) Lisa Cook and John Williams are scheduled to speak.
