Indian rupee weakened against US dollar on Monday as the speculators remained cautious about the outcome of the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) monetary policy meeting scheduled later in the week. However, some selling in American currency by banks and importers due to easing of crude oil prices, capped losses in the rupee against the US dollar. Besides, foreign investors infused a net Rs 7,714 crore into the domestic capital markets in September following a slew of economic reforms by the government, also capped the downside. On the global front, the dollar was supported against major currencies as worries of the heightening of US-China trade war eased. Meanwhile, Chinese manufacturing activity in September came in above expectations. A private survey of China’s manufacturing activity, the Caixin/Markit factory Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), was 51.4 for September - the highest reading since February 2018.
