DAILY FOREX REPORT FOR EXPORTERS AND IMPORTERS

World
Trump-Juncker trade deal should be bullish for the euro. European central bank press conference today will set the direction for the currency. There are more short positions in euro than longs. Next week is more crucial with the bank of japan meeting, FOMC and US July nonfarm payrolls. Trend in currency markets can change anytime from Tuesday. In my view, the US dollar Index has formed a medium term top and looks headed for 92 and 89.60 in August.

India
Securities and exchange board of India’s proposal to increase trade timings of futures and options in the Indian stock markets to 11:55pm from current 3:30pm will result in higher FII inflows into Indian stock markets from October. Daily more regulations are being made to ensure better investor protections and trader protection. Global investors will continue to increase their investment in Indian stock market. The rot in the state run banking system has already been factored in by the stock markets. Regulatory news will be the key for the rupee as well. If crude oil prices continue to rise globally then downside risk will be limited.
US dollar-Indian Rupee (usd/inr CMP 68.7025):
One Support: 68.6025
One Resistance: 68.8700
o There will be another wave of sell off below 68.6025 to 68.3425.
o Rupee needs to trade over 68.8700 to be in bullish zone.
Forward cover strategy for exporters: Use any 30-40 paisa rise to cover receivables till Monday.
Forward cover strategy for importers: Use a stop loss over 69.1200 for near term payables.

FAQ
Why Do I ask exporters and importers to use trailing stop loss? Some day’s currency markets are very volatile. Trend (short term as well as medium term) change at the flick of coin without any advance warning. In order to make the most of the volatility it is preferable to use trailing stop loss using technical analysis as basis. Those exporters and importers do not wish to take the risk, should take a forward cover or hedge in future and options market if export or import price near cost.
