Domestic Cues
The Nikkei S&P Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index is forecasted at 57.9 on Sept. 2, slightly below the previous reading of 58.1. A stronger than expected PMI would be bullish for the rupee, while a weaker result could be bearish.
The Nikkei Services PMI, out on Sept. 4, is anticipated to show a slight increase to 60.4 from 60.3. A higher reading would be positive for the rupee. Additionally, the Reserve Bank of India will release M3 Money Supply data, with the previous figure at 10.3%. A higher reading than expected would be supportive for the local currency.
Key reports on Sept. 6 include bank loan growth, previously at 13.6%, and India's USD forex reserves data. Foreign exchange reserves serve as a safeguard for countries facing financial crises. They can be utilised to intervene in the currency market to influence or stabilise the exchange rate.
Both higher than expected results would be bullish for the rupee, while lower readings could be negative.
