The Indian Rupee edges lower in Friday’s Asian session.
Indian foreign outflows, rising crude oil prices weigh on the INR; likely RBI’s intervention might cap its downside.
The US PPI and preliminary reading of the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index data will be the highlights on Friday.
The Indian Rupee (INR) weakens on Friday amid the firmer US Dollar (USD). Furthermore, sustained Indian foreign fund outflows and elevated crude oil prices continue to undermine the local currency. The hotter-than-expected US inflation data and hawkish comments by Federal Reserve (Fed) officials lift the Greenback and also contribute to the INR’s downside.
Nonetheless, the possible foreign exchange intervention from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) helps limit the INR’s losses. Looking ahead, market players will shift their attention to the US Producer Price Index (PPI) for September, along with the preliminary reading of the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index for October. On the Indian docket, the Industrial Production and Manufacturing Output will be released on Friday.
