US Dollar Index
US Dollar Index (DX) gained by 0.1 percent yesterday on account of rise in risk aversion in the global market sentiments which led to increase in demand for the low yielding currency. Additionally, US equities also traded on a negative note which also supported an upside in the DX. However, sharp upside in the currency was capped as a result of Euro zone finance ministers agreeing for a private study for emergency loans to Cyprus exerted downside pressure on the currency. The currency touched an intra-day high of 80.48 and closed at 80.39 on Monday.

Dollar/INR
The Indian Rupee depreciated around 0.7 percent in yesterdays trading session. The currency depreciated on the back of dollar demand from oil firms and importers. Additionally, statement from Reserve Bank of India Governor Duvvuri Subbarao that inflation is still high caused concerns about economic growth and exerted downside pressure on the currency. Apart from that, weak domestic market sentiments also acted as a negative factor for Rupee. The currency touched an intra-day low of 53.97 and closed at 53.95 against dollar on Monday. For the month of January 2013, FII inflows totaled at Rs.18,738.50 crores ($3,519.65 million) as on 11th February 2013. Year to date basis, net capital inflows stood at Rs.40,797.50 crores ($7,579.0 million) till th 11 February 2013. Outlook From the intra-day perspective, we expect Indian Rupee to appreciate on the back of countrys Industrial production expected to come on a positive note along with weakness in the DX. However, sharp upside in the currency will be capped as a result of dollar demand along with Indias trade balance tentatively expected to come on an unfavorable note.

However, sharp downside in the currency will be cushioned on account of Money Stock data coming on a favorable note along with expectations of Consumer Confidence to come on a positive note.
