With increased mobility and optimistic outlook on the consumer confidence index, we expect the companies to continue with their growth momentum into H2FY22. Further, rural demand continues to be resilient as a result of good crop, MSP support, and normal monsoon. Success of launches, distribution reach, price hikes, and improvement in international business will be the key monitorables.

We believe that the USDINR pair should correct down towards 74.80 and 74.50, which has an 80% probability. The key player for rupee management- “The RBI”, has so far done a remarkable job by not intervening too aggressively in selling dollars and let it be driven by market forces. However, considering the huge chunk of inflows paring the way, it will be watchful whether it also remains active downside. Overall, the medium-term trend for the USDINR pair remains bullish. But for a healthy and steady-up move, correction is required. And hence we believe that over the medium term, the USDINR pair will remain on a bullish note. Only if the crucial resistance of 75.50 is broken on account of any major market trigger, though having less probability in immediate time, then take it can take rupee towards 76.00 levels over the medium term.
