The Indian rupee appreciated marginally against the US dollar on Monday. The rupee's gains were supported by dollar selling by exporters and banks as well as expectations that the government will highlight economic reforms to credit rating agencies. Domestic stock market gains and central bank intervention also kept the rupee in positive territory. Technical analyses indicate the rupee and yen may gain further while the euro and pound face resistance. Upcoming US economic data on building permits and housing starts could impact the dollar and currencies like the rupee if the data exceeds forecasts.
