Asian markets are trading higher today on the back of European Finance Ministers agreeing a bailout deal for Cyprus thereby reducing the threats for default of the nation. The European Union, European Central Bank (ECB) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) have agreed a aid package of 10 billion Euros ($13 billion) for the Cyprus nation.

US Dollar Index
US Dollar Index (DX) appreciated by 0.3 percent in the last week on the back of rise in risk aversion in the global market sentiments which led to increase in demand for the low yielding currency. Additionally, European Union giving ultimatum to Cyprus to seek the bailout of 5.8 billion Euros which the nation is struggling to agree thereby worsening the Euro Zone debt crisis also supported an upside in the currency. Unfavorable economic data from Euro Zone also acted as a positive factor for the DX. However, sharp upside in the currency was capped on account of favorable economic data from the US. The currency touched a weekly high of 83.315 and closed at 82.529 on Friday.

Dollar/INR
On a weekly basis, Indian Rupee depreciated by 0.6 percent. The currency depreciated on the back of DMK withdrawing its support from the UPA government which created political uncertainty in the nation. Further, weak global market sentiments coupled with strength in the DX exerted downside pressure on the currency. However, sharp downside in the currency was cushioned as a result of selling of dollars from exporters and custodian banks. The Indian Rupee touched a low of 54.56 in the last week and closed at 54.34 against dollar on Friday. For the month of March 2013, FII inflows totaled at Rs.7,546.80 crores nd ($1,384.39 million) as on 22 March 2013. Year to date basis, net capital nd inflows stood at Rs.54,044.90 crores ($10,019.0 million) till 22 March 2013. Outlook From the intra-day perspective, we expect Indian Rupee to appreciate on the back of upbeat global market sentiments coupled with weakness in the DX. Further, selling of dollars from exporters and custodian banks will also support an upside in the currency.
