1-10. In the following passage there are blanks each of which has been numbered. These numbers are given below the passage and against each five words have been suggested, one of which fits the blanks appropriately. Find out the appropriate word in each case.
Pressure is slowly (A) on the rupee with the currency failing to sustain its break above 67. The rupee touched a high of 66.85 but reversed sharply lower from there, to below 67 once again. The currency hit a low of 67.25 before closing at 67.20, down 0.2 per cent for the week. Inability to (B) above 67 and the subsequent reversal in the past week keeps the broader (C) outlook intact. A strong rise in the dollar index (D) the rupee’s upside in the past week. After consolidating between 95.5 and 96.5 for more than three weeks, the dollar index broke above 96.5 and surged to a high of 97.3.
The break above 96.5 has increased the momentum for the index. A decisive close above 97 will add (E) strength. With strong support around 96.5, a further rise to 98 and 98.5 looks likely in the short term. Such a rise will also increase the possibility of the index (F) 100 levels in the coming weeks. The outlook for the euro (1.10/$) is negative. The euro has been broadly range-bound between 1.05 and 1.16 since 2015. After testing 1.16 this year, the currency has been falling, thereby keeping the broader range (G). An immediate fall to 1.08 looks likely. A strong break below 1.08 can drag it to 1.05 — the lower end of the range. Such a fall in the euro supports the bullish view for the dollar index. Could the European Central Bank (ECB) meeting due this evening have (H) this fall? We will have to wait and see.
The negative outlook for the euro and the strong possibility of the dollar index revisiting 100 levels are negative for the rupee. There is no major macroeconomic data release on the domestic front in the coming week. So, the rupee’s movement will be completely influenced by global dollar movement. Inability of the rupee to sustain above 67 is a negative. Technically, the 200-day moving average resistance (66.88) has (I) the rally in the currency. The sharp reversal from 66.85, taking the rupee below 67, is turning the short-term outlook negative. A fall to 67.5 is possible in the coming days. Further break below 67.5 can drag it further lower to 67.7. It will also increase the possibility of the rupee falling below 68 and revisiting the previous lows, going forward. Key resistances are at 67 and 66.85, which can limit the upside in the near term Also, the strength in the rupee could be capped at 66.5 even if it breaks above 66.85. The presence of a strong long-term trend (J) at 66.5 will continue to keep the medium-term outlook bearish for the currency.
