The US-Iran peace deal announced over the weekend has led to a crash in oil prices, which has initiated a retracement in the USD/INR.
The USD/INR is currently trading in an environment where two opposing forces are battling for the upper hand in directional pressure. The first is the latest US Non-Farm Payrolls report and the resultant rise in U.S. bond yields, which have exerted a USD-strengthening effect on the pair.
The USD/INR has broken the recent downward streak as oil prices resume their climb following escalatory headlines from the Middle East.
Current Setup and Live Chart The Rupee has been a beneficiary of the de-escalatory headlines that filtered through the newswires over the weekend. This has culminated in the Rupee's 3-day winning streak against the US Dollar.
The Indian rupee rose slightly on Thursday after reports that the country's central bank was considering all options, including hiking interest rates amid the slump. The USD/INR pair retreated to 96.4050, a few points below the record high of 96.97.
