INR update: Inflows drive USDINR lower



EURUSD 200 WMA is at 1.1333 (CMP 1.1276). A break of 200 WMA essentially means 4 year price levels breaking and it technically signals a further large move down. Looking at Euro area data release the chances of it bouncing from the current levels look slim although from a trading perspective it is prudent to wait till 22nd Feb (2 weekly closes) before we confirm the break out. The chances of a runaway move immediately looks low as US data surprise is also in the negative. The developing breakout in EURUSD also challenges the view of a weaker USD this year on back of a dovish FED. US-China trade talks is the nearest big event from a market perspective.

USDINR 1m NDF is trading 5 p right. Price action suggests that some inflow is going through. News reports suggest that certain telecom and divestment related investments are resulting in USDINR getting sold off. Global queues should have driven USDINR higher (USD strength and firm oil prices). But in spite of that if USDINR has gotten sold it confirms supply of dollars for the time being. Broader range of 71-71.50 should continue to hold but temporary break to 70.85 is possible given the inflow. CMP 70.99, Range 70.85-71.20.
