Research: Short-Term Outlook for Inr



Quotes from Standard Chartered:
-We have a short-term Neutral FX rating on the INR. The crucial FOMC outcome may lead to considerable US dollar volatility ahead of this. Also, in his 4 September speech, Governor Rajan mentioned the possibility of further FX stabilisation measures being announced at the monetary policy meeting. The absence of such measures could dent the INR optimism that has been visible since his appointment.
