The Indian rupee retreated after a positive opening against the dollar on Wednesday as Democrats won majorities in both US houses in the midterm elections. USD/INR traded near 94.80 while the dollar index fell about 0.45% to near 101.42.
A weaker dollar supports emerging-market currencies, but ING sees no structural dollar shift, so the effect on dollar-priced feed commodities is likely small and short-lived.
After 1,637 past bearish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (39% higher; middle half -0.6% to +0.3%), and -0.2% over 20.
