The Dollar Index has remained stable since the last few sessions. The view remains intact to see a rise towards 101, while above 98/97. The Euro and EURINR can trade within 1.18-1.14 and 102-100/99 regions respectively. EURJPY has limited upside to 172. The target of 168 is kept open for now. USDJPY above 146 can target 149-150 in the near term. USDCNY is holding its 7.14-7.20 range for now. The Aussie is consolidating within 0.64-0.65 region, while the Pound is heading towards the resistance at 1.34. USDINR tested 87.8825. Still, while below 88, a dip to 87.50 looks possible. Only a confirmed break past 88 if seen can bring higher levels into picture.
Dollar Index (98.787) is moving within the 100-98 region since the last few sessions. For now, we retain our view of seeing a rise towards 101 in the near term while the support near 98-97 holds.
EURUSD (1.1565) continues to trade below the resistance at 1.16. Overall, a narrow range of 1.16-1.14 and a broad range of 1.18-1.14 can hold for a while.
EURINR (101.5839) tested 101.84 before coming down later. Immediate resistance is coming at 102, below which a fall within the range of 102-100 can happen.
EURJPY (170.82) initially tested 169.82 before recovering from there. Even if the rise extends, the upside can be limited to 172 for now. The lower target of 168 is kept alive for now.
Dollar-Yen (147.70) is slowly inching higher and while above 146, a rise towards 149-150 can happen. Only a break below 146 if seen can take it to 144 initially thereby delaying the rise.
USDCNY (7.1886) will have to rise past 7.20 to make the outlook bullish again. Till then, the range of 7.14-7.20 can continue to persist in the near term.
Aussie (0.6482) is consolidating within the 0.65-0.64 region since the last few sessions. Broadly the range of 0.66-0.64 can continue to hold for a while before a break is seen.
Pound (1.3303) is nearing the resistance at 1.34 which can be tested soon. Thereafter, while the resistance holds, a fall towards 1.32/31 can happen in the medium term as the overall trend appears bearish.
USDINR (87.7960) tested 87.8825 before closing lower. While it remains below 88, there’s still a chance of a dip towards 87.50 in the near term. A sustained break above 88, if seen, would turn the pair bullish, opening up targets of 89–90.
The US Treasury yields remain lower but stable. Any bounce from here can be capped. The yields are likely to fall more in the coming days. The German yields are also lower and stable. They have support to limit the downside. We can expect them to reverse higher and keep the bullish view intact. The 10Yr GoI retains its sideways range and can rise within that. The RBI meeting outcome tomorrow will be an important event to watch.
The US 10Yr (4.22%) and 30Yr (4.79%) Treasury yields remain stable. Any rise from here will be capped at 4.3% (10Yr) and 4.85% (30Yr). The yields are vulnerable for a fall to 4.1%-4% (10Yr) and 4.7%-4.6% (30Yr).
The German 10Yr (2.62%) and 30Yr (3.13%) yields remain stable. While above 2.6% (10Yr) and 3.10% (30Yr), the yields can reverse higher. It will keep the bullish view intact to see a rise to 2.8% (10Yr) and 3.3% (30Yr) on the upside.
The 10Yr GoI 06.33 GS 2035 (6.3321%) retains its 6.3%-6.4% range and can rise within it.

The Dow (44111.74, -0.14%) lost gains seen on Monday after the ISM services flattened for July indicating concerns of a stagflation. Additionally the index also declined as Trump announced that the tariffs on semiconductors, chips and pharmaceuticals were coming up soon. Immediate support is seen at 43000 above which there could be scope for a slow rise towards 44500 or higher in the medium term.

Brent and WTI are testing their immediate supports, and a sustained break below could turn them bearish towards $ 66–$ 64 and $ 64–$ 62 respectively. Gold remains under resistance with a possible pullback to $ 3350 unless it breaks above $ 3450, which would turn it bullish towards $ 3600–$ 3700. Silver continues to rise and may reach $ 38–$ 40, while Copper has dropped below $ 4.4 and could fall to $ 4.3–$ 4.2. Natural gas stays above $ 3.0 but retains a bearish outlook towards $ 2.8–$ 2.7.
