The Indian Rupee (INR) is under significant pressure, primarily driven by geopolitical tensions surrounding the US-Iran stalemate, which has pushed oil prices back into triple digits. Per the full note from Giuseppe Dellamotta, the USD has regained strength as the situation remains unresolved, and the Fed's upcoming policy decision could further influence the dollar's trajectory. The desk anticipates that the INR will continue to face downward pressure, with potential record lows on the horizon if the geopolitical landscape does not improve. This aligns with our broader bearish outlook on the INR against the USD, particularly as the Fed may adopt a more hawkish stance in light of resilient US economic data.

The Indian Rupee (INR) is under significant pressure, reaching new record lows against the US Dollar (USD) as geopolitical tensions and oil prices weigh heavily on its value. Per the full note from Giuseppe Dellamotta at investinglive.com, the lack of progress in US-Iran negotiations and rising oil prices have exacerbated the Rupee's decline. The desk believes that the INR's trajectory will remain closely tied to developments in the oil market and geopolitical stability, with a bearish structural trend evident in the currency's performance. Upcoming US economic data, particularly retail sales and jobless claims, could further influence USD strength and INR weakness.
