Snapping three-day winning streak, Indian rupee depreciated against dollar on Monday amid sustained foreign fund outflows. Sentiments remained down-beat with report that the investments in the domestic capital market through participatory notes (P-notes) slumped to a five-year low of Rs 1.35 lakh crore in July amid stringent norms put in place by SEBI. Investors failed to get solace with the private report stating that India’s trade deficit is expected to improve in August to about $10.3 billion from $11.5 billion in July, largely on moderation in export as well as import growth. Besides, strength in the US dollar against some other currencies overseas too weighed on the rupee sentiment. Though, splendid gains in local equities market limited further depreciation of Indian currency. On the global front, dollar edged higher on Monday, after posting its biggest weekly drop in two months, as a revival in interest in riskier assets prompted some investors to cut short bets against the greenback before US inflation data this week.
