The currency depreciated preciated on the back of weak global and domestic markets coupled with strength in the DX in early part of the trade. Further, heavy dollar demand from importers also exerted downside pressure on the currency.

Outlook day perspective, we expect Indian Rupee to trade on From the intra-day mixed note as strength in the DX will lead to depreciation depreciation. Additionally, dollar demand from importers and oil firms will exert downside pressure on the currency. However, sharp downside in the currency will be cushioned or reversal can be seen as a result of recovery in global market sentiments coupled with expectations ctations of measures to be taken by RBI.
