In a nutshell, provided factors remains the same; but their impact might shock the move.Any further addition of the fuel in Petroleum's fire, strong healing in DXY ahead of Fed's Nov tapering, or mean-reverting relocation in the Indian market might once again take the USDINR set above the 75.50 mark.
Anindya Banerjee, DVP, Currency Derivatives - & Rates Of Interest Derivatives at Kotak Securities: Considering that completion of September, rupee has been among the weakest currencies in the world on the back of rising oil costs.

Next week, focus will be on oil costs, USDCNH and Nifty.
