    Rupee to hit 56 in near-term, says Barclays Capital

    Barclays Capital expects spot rupee to hit 56 to the dollar in one month and then subsequently rise only to 54 within three months.

    Barclays Capital expects spot rupee to hit 56 to the dollar in one month and then subsequently rise only to 54 within three months; the USD/INR is currently at 54.85.

    BarCap cites "high" sensitivity to global market sentiment, "limited" appetite for the RBI intervention and "weak" macro fundamentals, in a reported dated May 17.

    The rupee will gain to 48/dlr in one year, BarCap also forecasts.

    BarCap's near-term rupee view is much more bearish than a Reuters poll this week, which shows consensus forecast at 53.41 by end of June.
