USD/INR holds steady ahead of US GDP data

The Indian Rupee remains steady in Wednesday’s Asian session. 

Rising US Treasury yields and significant foreign outflows could weigh on the INR; RBI’s intervention might cap its downside. 

Investors await the advanced US Q3 GDP data for fresh impetus. 

The Indian Rupee (INR) trades flat on Wednesday amid the consolidation of the US Dollar (USD). Rising US Treasury bond yields and sustained foreign outflows from domestic stocks might exert some selling pressure on the INR. Nonetheless, a further decline in crude oil prices might support the Indian Rupee as India is the world's third-largest oil consumer. Additionally, the downside for the INR might be limited as the RBI has been intervening regularly to prevent the local currency from depreciating. 

Looking ahead, traders will keep an eye on the US October ADP Employment Change, the advanced US Q3 Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and September Pending Home Sales, which are due later on Wednesday. The Indian market will be closed on Friday for the occasion of Diwali.
