The study considered US Crude Oil (WTI- West Texas Intermediate) Prices,IB Oil(Indian Crude Basket)and Gold prices to assess the relationship. The study used Multiple Linear Regression Analysis and Granger causality test to analyze the relationship between gold, crude oil and exchange rates. The study found that only gold returns has positive impact on EURO/INR returns. Further granger causality test results revealsuni directional causality from Euro returns to Gold returns, Gold returns to JPY returns, IB Oil returns to JPY Returns and IB Oil returns to USD returns. The market participants are suggested to consider the effect of gold returns and IB Oil performance to take investment or trading decision in forex market (JPY/INR, USD/INR and EURO/INR exchange rates).
