Asian markets are trading higher today on the back of favorable economic data from US which beat the estimates. Further, expectations that Federal Reserve will make plans to keep the interest rates lower also supported an upside in global markets. US Core Retail Sales increased by 0.3 percent in May. Retail Sales rose by 0.6 percent in May as against a previous rise of 0.1 percent in April. Unemployment Claims declined by 12,000 to 334,000 for week ending on 7th June from earlier rise of 346,000 in prior week.

The US Dollar Index (DX) declined 0.3 percent in the yesterdays trading session on the back of better than forecast economic data from US. Further, rise in risk appetite in global markets in later part of the trade added downside pressure on the currency. Additionally, expectations of the Fed keeping interest rates low acted as a negative factor for the currency. The DX touched an intra-day low of 80.51 and closed at 80.74 on Thursday. The Indian Rupee depreciated 0.3 percent in yesterdays trading session. The currency depreciated on account of cut in the growth outlook of the economy to 5.7 percent by World Bank. Further, weak domestic markets coupled with disappointing statement from Finance Minister as no concrete steps were taken added downside pressure on the currency. However, sharp downside in the Rupee was cushioned as a result of weakness in the DX. Additionally, selling of dollars from exporters prevented sharp downside in the Rupee. The currency touched an intraday low of 58.56 and closed at 57.99 against dollar on Thursday. For the month of June 2013, FII outflows totaled at Rs.905.30 crores ($149.83 million) as on 13th June 2013.
