Currency Chronicles 

USD/INR: 

The Indian rupee closed the week at 82.7850 against the U.S. dollar, marking a modest gain of 0.12% compared to the previous week. This marks the fourth consecutive weekly gain for the rupee. Despite reaching its strongest level in six months on Thursday, aided by dollar sales from large foreign banks, the local currency faced pressure from likely intervention by the Indian central bank, which eroded some of its early gains. 

EUR/INR:

Over the week ending March 7th, 2024, the EUR to INR exchange rate rose by 0.71%, indicating bullish sentiment in the market. By week’s end, the rate closed higher as expected, highlighting the Euro’s strength against the Indian Rupee.

JPY/INR: 

During the week until March 7th, 2024, the JPY to INR exchange rate climbed by 1.34%, signaling optimism in the market. By the week’s close, the rate had reached ₹ 0.558670, marking a notable uptick in the value of the Japanese yen compared to the Indian Rupee.

Commodity Corner

Gold: 

The past five trading sessions witnessed gold trading with robust positive momentum, reaching new highs. Closing with a notable gain of 2.87%, gold prices surged. This uptrend is fueled by several factors including expectations for U.S. rate cuts, geopolitical tensions, and concerns surrounding China’s economic situation.

Crude Oil:

Crude oil prices pirouette to the beats of demand surges in the US and China, harmonized with positive signals for rate cuts. Last week witnessed a negative closure at -1.31%. Currently, the stage is set with R1 at 6588 and S1 at 6503, adding a dynamic flair to this market performance.
