Indian Rupee edges higher with Asian peers and Dollar-rupee forward premiums increase

The rupee (USDINR) stood at 83.70 against the U.S. dollar, up from its previous close of 83.72. The currency had hit a record low of 83.7450. Asian currencies rose between 0.1% and 0.8%, while the dollar index (DXY) was at 104 after declining 0.4%. Local oil companies also sought dollars, and the general market bias remained towards mild depreciation. This suggests the rupee is unlikely to rise above 83.60 without large inflows. Meanwhile, dollar-rupee forward premiums rose, with the 1-year implied up 3 basis points to 1.88%, nearing a six-month high. This rise was aided by the decline in U.S. Treasury yields.
