Geoff Dennis, Independent Emerging Markets Commentator, says even if the dollar gains strength again, it won't rise significantly enough to heavily impact the rupee.

This has been a positive factor for the market in recent years. In the entire Nifty 500 index, only 15 stocks are currently trading above their 200-day moving average.
