HighLights:
India’s WPI Inflation plunged to 3.57 percent in September
US Core Retail Sales grew by 0.5 percent in the last month

US Prelim UoM Consumer Sentiment fell to 87.9-mark in Oct’16
Indian Rupee recovered from its lows and appreciated more than 20
paise to end at 66.72 against the US dollar on Friday. The currency
appreciated on account of selling of dollars from banks and exporters.
Further, decline in country’s retail and wholesale inflation data led to
positive movement in the currency.
However, sharp upside in the currency was capped due to outflow of
foreign funds. Foreign institutional investors remained net sellers in
the Indian equity markets as they sold shares worth of Rs.846 crore on
Friday, according to the provisional data available with NDSL. Indian
Rupee moved in the range of 66.7038 to 66.8925 in Friday’s trading
session.

September when compared to increase of 1.62 percent a month ago. WPI manufacturing inflation grew marginally to 2.48 per-
cent in September with respect to 2.42 percent in August.
US Dollar Index grew by 0.5 percent in Friday’s trading session due to favourable economic data from the country. However,
sharp rise in the currency was capped due to rise in risk appetite in global markets which led to decline in demand for the low
yielding currency.
US Core Retail Sales grew by 0.5 percent in September as against a decline of 0.2 percent in August. Producer Price Index (PPI)
increased by 0.3 percent in the last month. Retail Sales rose by 0.6 percent in previous month as compared to drop of 0.2 per-

er Sentiment plunged by 3.3 points to 87.9-mark in October when compared to 91.2-level in September.
Euro against dollar fell around 0.8 percent on Friday on account of strength in the dollar index. However, sharp downside in
the currency was cushioned as a result of favourable economic data from the region along with upbeat global market senti-
ments.
Euro Zone Trade Balance was at a surplus of 23.3 billion Euros in August as against a surplus of 20.8 billion Euros a month ago.
The Sterling Pound dropped around 0.55 percent in Friday’s trade as a result of weaker dollar. However, sharp fall in the cur-
rency was prevented due to upbeat global market sentiments.

market sentiments which led to decline in demand for the low yielding currency.
