The USD/INR currency pair is expected to modestly rise between May and June’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, particularly if the Federal Reserve releases a "hawkish hold" decision next Thursday morning.

The INR’s strength was attributable to a market-friendly French election outcome and the steady geopolitical situation on the Korean Peninsula as well as the nation’s robust fundamentals.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections with 181 out of 270 seats, retaining control of Delhi’s three municipal corporations partly due to PM Modi’s popularity.
