"In the week gone by Indian rupee depreciated by 0.22 percent and currently stands at 73.19 against the US dollar. In the previous week, India posted its Q1FY21 GDP which contracted by 23.9 percent which was the lowest in 24 years. However, the GDP announced was in line with market expectations considering the economic disruption caused by the virus and its subsequent lockdowns. On the other hand, US FED published its "Beige Book" report which highlighted that the economic recovery trajectory has been uneven in US. Residential sector has surged on account of low interest rates but other sectors such as commercial construction and agriculture have underperformed. US also published the lowest jobless claims since the start of the pandemic.

Outlook

With risk sentiment improving and global economies recovering from this unprecedented pandemic, USDINR (CMP: 73.19) is likely to move lower towards 72.5 in the coming week. (7th Sep - 11th Sep 2020)."
