Extending losses for the second straight session, Indian rupee ended at 1-month low as against the US dollar on Tuesday. Sentiments remained down-beat after government report showed that Core sector output in the month of November slowed down to 4.9% from 6.6% in October and 5.01% in September, mainly due to decline in production of crude oil and natural gas. Though, it was higher than the 0.6% growth seen in November 2015, on the back of healthy performance by sectors, including coal, steel and electricity. Traders remained cautious ahead of the release of the minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting on January 5, 2017. The minutes will be closely watched for signs of any potential change in the fiscal policy and any impact on the US monetary policy.
