Foreign inflows rise as regulatory changes boost bond market access

India has enacted a capital gains tax exemption for foreign institutional investors and the Bank for International Settlements on government securities, following the promulgation of the Income-tax (Amendment) Ordinance, 2026. This regulatory action removes a primary barrier and is intended to increase foreign demand for Indian bonds, potentially improving liquidity and supporting the rupee. Additional measures by the Reserve Bank of India to ease investment rules and expand participation among non-residents further aim to facilitate capital inflow. Forex reserves standing at $682.3 billion provide a solid buffer, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Momentum weakens as intraday sellers dominate below short-term averages

On the technical side, USD/INR has fallen below the MA-20 and MA-50 on the hourly chart, while still holding above the MA-200 on the daily timeframe. Immediate resistance is marked by the Ichimoku Kijun level at [2m[22m95.6236[22m. Momentum indicators are firmly negative: both the MACD and ADX show active sell signals, while RSI, Stoch RSI, and CCI all stay in oversold territory—a signal of pronounced intraday selling pressure. The BBP confirms continued dominance by sellers, and the Awesome Oscillator supports the prevailing downward trend, with no signs of bullish divergence across oscillators.

Downside risk prevails as volatility narrows within short-term range

In the short term—over the next two to three sessions—the anticipated trading corridor is between [2m[22m94.7268[22m and [2m[22m95.6788[22m, a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of an upward move remains low, while downside risk is elevated and a further slide is more likely. Consolidation within this range is the baseline scenario; a bullish turnaround would require a clear breakout above resistance, while a close below support could trigger additional losses.

Earlier, analysts noted that USD/INR was exhibiting a bullish trend supported by strong technical momentum and robust foreign reserve management. The latest shift in both price action and market structure signals a change in outlook, with heightened downside risk now prevailing and a close below the identified support zone potentially paving the way for accelerated rupee gains.
