The dollar–rupee traded 4 cents lower at 46.70 (selling) this morning.

Fundamental News

EUR/USD

The Euro remained bullish at $1.1788 supported by easing energy prices as markets continue to price in modest tightening by the European Central Bank at the April 30 meeting.

GBP/USD

The Pound Sterling traded higher at 1.3570 against the greenback as softer US producer inflation data drags the US Dollar to six-week lows, with traders now awaiting UK GDP data.

USD/JPY

Despite optimism over Iran diplomacy, economic concerns linked to instability in the Strait of Hormuz continue to limit bullish interest in the Japanese Yen, with USD/JPY trading around 158.96.

AUD/USD

The Australian Dollar rose above $0.7130 as markets weighed mixed economic signals, with a sharp drop in Westpac Consumer Confidence with focus shifting to Australia’s employment data and China’s Q1 GDP on Thursday.

USD/CAD

The Canadian Dollar traded slightly higher to near 1.3780, as optimism over potential US–Iran ceasefire talks tempers sentiment and leaves the outlook uncertain.

USD/ZAR

The South African rand strengthened slightly to $16.3638, supported by a weaker dollar and a drop in oil prices below $100 per barrel.

USD/MUR

The dollar–rupee traded 4 cents lower at 46.70 (selling) this morning.
