USD/INR
The pair though appears to have made a temporary peak around 81.95, there are no indication yet for a Now 80+ becomes a new normal. We may see buying interest for the unhedged imports. A daily close below 80.95 may give a chance towards 80.35. The upside is still wide open. Daily close above 81.80 opens the door for next round of sharper move towards 83.00. Expected range 80.65-83.00. A close outside this range requires re-assessment of risk/direction and target.With this back drop it would be preferable to hedge the outward remittances on any at the current levels or on decline towards 81.

With this move there are chances that the pair may attempt higher levels in the coming week. Current EURINR exchange rate is 79.87. We may safely assume that there are interests on both sides. We can expect a consolidation between 79.00 and 80.00. It is prudent to look for key levels to hedge the risk.

The GBPINR currency pair posted a sharp decline from 88.00 to 84.00 in a swift move drawing similarity with the sharp fall of April 2020. However, the pair recovered sharply towards the end of the week to cast a solid bullish candle. While the downside risk still exists, we may not see such sharp fall. Most likely scenario could be a consolidation between 88.50 & 92.70.
