Indian rupee, after positing its biggest fall in a month in previous session, got off to strong start on Monday, though the currency has given away some of its gains it still continues to trade at strongest level in a week tailing local equities, which have rallied on hopes for additional reforms after Narendra Modi's party won election in two states. Additionally, slew of masures taken by the government taken in the past two days, like de-regulating diesel prices and raising the cost of natural gas also aided the sentiment. On the global front, dollar gained after upbeat data restored some calm to the financial markets, prompting equities to rally back from deep losses and triggering a rise in treasury yields.
