Indian rupee depreciated substantially on Monday on account of incremental month end dollar demand by banks and oil importers in view of strength of American currency’s overseas. However, positive local equities after global rating agency Fitch underscored that sustained fiscal consolidation, structural reforms and low inflation were positive for the country's ratings, prevented sharper slide of Indian currency. On the global front, dollar inched higher versus the yen and euro on Monday after the head of the U.S. Federal Reserve underscored the view that the Fed is likely to start raising interest rates gradually later this year.
