Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury, Finrex Treasury Advisors said: "Flows from Zomato IPO should start hitting the market as dollar eases after RBI strongly ensured that 74.80 is not breached on the upside. Range for the day 74.30 to 74.70. Exporters to sell near to the higher end of 74.70 while importers to buy near the lower end for near term imports."
Kshitij Purohit, Lead International & Commodities at CapitalVia Global Research noted that while market mood remains sluggish due to concerns about a covid revival and variations, India's recovery rate increased to 97.19 per cent on Friday.
"The headlines expressing optimism about the India-UK free trade deal talks may also be benefiting the USD/INR values. During these maneuvers, the US dollar index (DXY) gains up bids as the US Treasury yields rise," Purohit said.
