Sensex dips 200 pts, Rupee off record low; Europe trades higher

The Indian rupee hit new record low of 73.41 on strong demand for the American currency from importers amid rising global oil prices and unabated capital outflows.

On IT services front after rupee depreciation, HSBC said the hopes are running high now as reflected in premium valuations.

It believes Q2FY19 earnings should be decent, but are unlikely to be an upside trigger, and sees relative value in the sector over the broader market.

"2-3 years demand visibility is decent and the rupee weakness provides a margin cushion," HSBC said.

The Indian rupee has depreciated nearly 15 percent year-to-date to hit record low of 73.41 against the US dollar on Wednesday.

The global research house has a Buy call on Infosys with increased target price at Rs 880 from Rs 830 per share earlier and also has Buy rating on HCL Technologies with increased target price at Rs 1,180 from Rs 1,120.

On other stocks like TCS, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Mindtree and Mphasis, HSBC has Hold call with increased target at Rs Rs 1,990 (from Rs 1,910), Rs 300 (from Rs 290), Rs 780 (from Rs 740), Rs 1,220 (from Rs 1,200) and Rs 1,200 (from Rs 1,190) respectively.

Indian rupee trades lower around 72.80 per dollar

Indian rupee is trading near the day's low point. It is trading lower by 35 paise at 72.83 per dollar versus previous close 72.48.

It has touched 72.86 during the day, while it touched all-time low of 72.96 per dollar in the month of September.

Last week, rupee consolidated in a range of 72.50 and 73 (Spot) ahead of the important RBI policy statement that is expected to be released today. Expectation is that the central bank could consider raising rates by 25bps following the sharp depreciation in the rupee. Weakness in the rupee has been curtailed after the government decided to impose import tariff on selected nonessential products, said Motilal Oswal.

Data released by the RBI showed India’s FX reserves for the week ended September 21 rose marginally by USD 1.3billion to USD 401.79 billion compared to USD 400.89 billion reported earlier last week. Today, USD-INR pair is expected to quote in the range of 72.60 and 73.25, it added.
