It is expected that the Indian Rupee will open lower, influenced by the strengthening of the US dollar and the rise in US Treasury yields following mixed signals from the Federal Reserve. The 1-month non-deliverable forward contract indicates that the opening range for the Indian Rupee against the US dollar is 88.20-88.22, compared to 88.1275 previously. The Rupee failed to maintain its gains above 88, reflecting weak market sentiment against the backdrop of a stronger dollar. Meanwhile, Bloomberg Index Services is considering including Indian government bonds in its global composite index. Supported by the rebound in US Treasury yields and the Federal Reserve's slightly below-expectation dovish comments, the US dollar index rose to around 97.50.
