Indian Rupee
The Indian rupee is expected to trade little changed to the dollar today after posting its best weekly performance in more than a year on dollar sales by companies and improved risk appetite.
On Friday, the rupee reached a three-week high of 75.02, extending its weekly advance. Dollar sales by software and other companies, position squaring by speculators, and weakness on the dollar index were mostly responsible for the currency’s 1.4% advance last week. A few traders said the presence of the Reserve Bank of India in the forex market contributed to the rupee having its best week in 16 months.
