Indian rupee ended lower on Monday due to fresh demand from importers for the dollar and gains in the American greenback against basket of major currencies overseas and even due to the Euro group meeting. Further, Index of Industrial production (IIP) numbers for May were below expectations, too pressurizing rupee. On the global front, Euro zone leaders clinched a deal with Greece on Monday to negotiate a third bailout to keep the near-bankrupt country in the euro zone after all-night talks at an emergency summit. Though, euro was unable to hold its modest gains, as investors started looking past the Greek crisis.
