The Indian rupee was slightly lower against the dollar in early trade, as investors awaited the fiscal deficit estimates, which the government will detail in today’s interim budget announcement. All eyes will be on the fiscal deficit numbers, while any comments on farm loan package and its impact on the fiscal deficit for next year will drive the rupee. We expect a volatile session and will not be surprised if the central bank is present on both sides of the trade to curb volatility.

the government will spend on populist measures in a pre‐election
budget due later in the day.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government is expected to try and
shore up its political support with big ticket farm giveaways and tax
cuts for the middle class in its final federal budget on Friday, months
before elections. by opposition parties' victories in three state polls
in December and an impending national elections by May, Modi has
already exempted many small businesses from paying taxes under a
unified goods and services tax (GST). He is likely to do more to win
back more voters including farmers and youth.

Oil prices held steady on Friday, torn between hopes the US and
China could soon settle their trade disputes and new data raising
fresh concerns over China's economic slowdown. Crude oil were at
$60.87 per barrel.
First it was palladium's turn and now gold is racing to new highs
above $1,300 an ounce, leaving other precious metals in the dust.
