what happened
According to TradingView, the Indian rupee opened on October 27 with slight gains against the dollar, at 95.16 versus Monday's close of 95.19. Finrex, cited by the report, expects the rupee to open at 95.20, with outflows linked to non-allotted JIO IPOs weighing on the currency.
The dollar index stayed near 102, while the euro slipped to 1.1168. Brent first rose to $117.40 before falling back to $114.72. Exporters are reportedly still selling into rallies, and forward premiums remain above 4% across all maturities.
Asian currencies were mixed: the Indonesian rupiah fell 0.30%, the Japanese yen lost 0.15%, while the Taiwan dollar gained 0.11%.
why it matters
The key drivers are the euro's weakness over concerns about France's fiscal health and the dollar's support from risk appetite on Wall Street. High forward premiums and outflows keep the rupee sensitive to external factors and oil prices.
