The bounce in India’s rupee that’s made it the top performer among major Asian economies is failing to win over traders.

The currency has risen about 1% in the past month after falling by as much 1.2% in October and November. Traders say the fillip provided by a one-off corporate inflow of about $6 billion in recent weeks and a change in the central bank’s foreign-currency management strategy is unlikely to last.
