    Rupee slips before Fed decision; traders say RBI intervention to cap bearish bias

    The Indian rupee fell marginally on Wednesday ahead of the crucial Federal Reserve policy decision later in the day, with traders expecting interventions by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to blunt the negative outlook on the local unit. "Quite likely that the Reserve Bank of India will be on offer (on USD/INR) near 84.93-84.94 levels which should limit intra-day gains," a trader at a state-run bank said. Routine interventions by the RBI have supported the rupee over recent sessions as the currency has been under pressure from slowing economic growth and elevated dollar bids in the non-deliverable forwards market.
