Softer On Thursday, Mfg PMI Little Changed In February

INR

INR is softer this morning, broad based USD/Asia strength driven by higher US Treasury Yields is weighing on the Rupee. We remain comfortably within recent ranges though.

  • USD/INR was marginally softer yesterday, finishing dealing ~0.2% lower. The pair briefly dealt below its 20-Day EMA (82.57), however we sit a touch above that level this morning.
  • Bulls still look to target a break of 83.00. Bears target 2023 lows at 80.89.
  • February S&P Global Mfg PMI printed at 55.3 yesterday, this was a touch lower than the prior read (55.4). The measure is holding in expansionary territory despite the RBIs tightening cycle.
  • On the wires tomorrow we have S&P Global Services and Composite PMIs for Feb. There is no estimate for either print, the prior for Composite PMI was 57.5 and the Services PMI was 57.2.
