China’s Trade Balance was at a surplus of 343 billion Yuan in July as against
a previous surplus of 311 billion Yuan in June. Consumer Price Index (CPI)
fell to 1.8 percent in July from 1.9 percent a month ago. Producer Price
Index (PPI) plunged by 1.7 percent in last month with respect to fall of 2.6
percent in June. Indian Rupee erased its gains and depreciated around 7
paise to end at 66.84 against the US dollar on Monday. The currency de-
preciated on account of fresh dollar demand from importers and banks.
Further, investors were cautious ahead of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
meeting tomorrow regarding its interest rates which it is expected to keep
unchanged.
However, sharp downside in the currency was cushioned due to rise in domestic market sentiments. Additionally, constant
inflow of foreign funds in debt and equity markets restricted sharp downside movement in the currency.
Indian Rupee moved in the range of 66.71 to 66.8575 in Monday’s trading session. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) fixed refer-
ence rate for the dollar was seen at 66.7407 and Euro stood at 74.0622 in Monday’s trade. In cross-currency trades, the rupee
recovered against the pound sterling to settle at 87.25 from 87.95 on last Friday and also recouped against the Japanese yen

US Dollar Index rose around 0.2 percent in Monday’s trading session due to rise in risk aversion in global market sentiments
which led to increase in demand for the low yielding currency. Further, estimates of favourable economic data from the coun-
try during the week will lead to upside in the currency.
Euro against dollar gained marginally on Monday on account of favourable economic data from the region. However, weak
global market sentiments coupled with strength in the dollar index capped sharp rise in the currency.
German Industrial Production gained by 0.8 percent in June as compared to drop of 0.9 percent a month ago. Euro Zone Sentix
Investor Confidence surged by 2.5 points to 4.2-mark in August with respect to 1.7-level in last month.
The Sterling Pound dropped around 0.3 percent in Monday’s trade as a result of stronger dollar. Further, weak global market
sentiments kept pressure on the currency.
The Japanese Yen against dollar depreciated around 0.4 percent in Monday’s trading session due to rise in risk appetite in
global market sentiments in early part of the trade which led to decline in demand for the low yielding currency.
Japan’s Economy Watchers Sentiment rose by 3.9 points to 45.1-mark in July from 41.2-level a month ago.
