Mr. Abhishek Goenka
Comments by a CDC (Centre for Disease Control) official that the US should prepare
for the Coronavirus outbreak becoming a pandemic has further dampened global risk
sentiment. The Dow saw a massive fall for the second straight session. The US 10y
yield hit a new record low. There is also a likelihood of the summer Olympics being
cancelled altogether. Asian currencies are trading weak against the US Dollar. Likely
range 71.65-72.05 with sideways price action. The Rupee may continue to outperform
on account of relatively weaker trade linkage with China compared to other Asian
economies, lower crude prices and month end exporter selling. The RBI yesterday
announced two more tranches of 3 year LTROs of Rs 25000cr each to be conducted
on 1st and 5th March. With this the RBI would have injected Rs 100000 lakh cr of low
cost durable liquidity into the banking system as it had announced in the monetary
policy. We could see further receiving in LTFX and further compression in corporate
bond spreads today.
Strategy: Exporters are advised to cover exposure on upticks towards 72.00 levels.
Importers are advised to cover near term exposure on dips towards 71.50. The 3M
range for USDINR is 70.00 - 72.50 and the 6M range is 69.50 - 73.50.

The USDJPY pair fell back sharply after finding weekly trendline
resistance near 112.00 levels. Also contributing to the pair’s selloff is
the greenback weakness against the majority of its counterparts.
Japanese PM Abe today morning stated that Japan is taking the
utmost measures to stop the coronavirus spread. Global risk sentiment
will continue to dominate the price action.
The USDINR pair opened lower by 13 paise at 71.75 amid easing of
crude prices and on expectation that RBI would intervene in order to
halt steep rupee depreciation. RBI yesterday announced two LTROs for
3-yr tenors worth Rs 25,000 cr each to be conducted on Mar 2 & Mar 9.
Meanwhile, India and the US have signed defence, energy and
telecoms deals but failed to reach a much-talked about trade accord.
The EURUSD pair jumped 100 pips from the yearly lows in the last
three trading sessions, currently hovering around 1.0870 levels. The
coronavirus extended its claws through Europe, with more cases
reported in France, mainland Spain, and Germany. On the data front,
German economy stagnates in Q4 as both private consumption and
state spending lost momentum, renewing fears of a recession.

The GBPUSD pair is hovering around 1.30 psychological mark from the
last couple of sessions. EU released a document, set to be the base of
the upcoming trade relationship with the UK. The kingdom will release
its declaration next Thursday, although Downing Street responded to
the EU, claiming that the UK deserves the same respect to autonomy as
other major economies such as Canada and Japan.
