To prevent appreciation in the pair, RBI has so far remained active by absorbing the foreign inflows that have been witnessed in heavy quantum. It will be important to see how long and till what extent RBI is comfortable with the strength in rupee. Most likely, in the near term 73.80 shall remain protected for a few more sessions and in medium term 73.00 shall act as a base for rupee. However, if RBI gets lenient in the FX intervention, then the pair is shall swiftly move close to 73.50 levels amid the given surge in inflows. The weakness is likely to be capped close to 74.90-75.00 levels given by the overall economic outlook, selling pressure and a risk to inflation.
