• Indian Rupee trades around a flat line amid a modest decline in the US Dollar.
• The Indian Rupee took the lead to become the top-performing currency in the Asian markets for January 2024.
• The Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) policy meeting and India’s Interim Budget 2024 are the highlights for this week.

Indian Rupee (INR) trades flat with a mild positive bias on Tuesday. The Indian Rupee regains its ground against the US Dollar on the back of foreign portfolio inflows, becoming the top-performing currency in the Asian markets for January 2024. According to a review by a finance ministry, the Indian economy remains resilient amid global challenges due to robust domestic demand, investment-led strategies, and macroeconomic stability.

The Finance Ministry stated that India is on track to become the world's third-largest economy, with a projected Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of $5 trillion over the next three years. Nonetheless, the external risks from sticky inflation, sluggish growth, and fiscal pressures in the global economy, combined with the ongoing tension around the Red Sea could be a potential threat.

Moving on, investors will closely monitor the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) January meeting on Wednesday, which is widely expected to keep its key interest rates steady for the fourth time in a row. The attention will shift to India’s Interim Budget 2024 for fiscal year 2024–25 on Thursday
