Gold prices have seen some correction and analysts say the drop below Rs 46,500 per 10 gm level can lead to more weakness in the short term. But investors looking to buy SGBs for the long term should not get concerned about it.
NEW DELHI: Indian rupee is likely to test 76-76.50 levels as a relatively strong greenback, boiling crude prices and COVID headwinds deepen the depreciation bias for the domestic currency, according to experts.
One of the significantly-hit Asian currency in recent months amid uncertain economic times, rupee is expected to see a consolidation in the vicinity of the current level before being pulled towards the depreciation bias.
While the equity market has been surging with occasional blips, the rupee has mostly been weak against the US dollar in recent months. If the domestic currency fell 2 per cent against the greenback, the slump was much lower at around 0.18 per cent in July.

The price of gold approached its highest level since January on Tuesday, close to erasing this year s decline as investors turn more bullish on the precious metal.
Spot gold was trading at $1,880.31 per ounce in London. Last week the prices reached their highest since January 8, climbing to $1,890.13.
The price growth comes as investors are weighing comments made by the US Federal Reserve about inflation.
Governor Lael Brainard, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic and St. Louis James Bullard said they would not be surprised if supply shortages push prices up in the coming months as the world recovers from the pandemic and pent-up demand is unleashed. They added, however, that much of the price gain should prove temporary.
