Indian rupee ended unchanged as compared to its previous close as investors remained cautious ahead of the RBI's policy decision later this week. The RBI's rate-setting panel MPC began its three-day deliberation amid expectations of another round of hike in benchmark interest rates to contain inflation that continues to remain above the central bank's upper tolerance level. Some concern also came as the Union Health Ministry data showed that India logged 4,270 new coronavirus infections taking the tally of COVID-19 cases to 4,31,76,817, while the daily positivity rate was recorded above one per cent after 34 days. The weak trade in the local equity market also adversely impacted local forex trade. On the global front, the yen was on the back foot on Monday and the dollar held firm against most peers ahead of a busy policy-focused week in which inflation is in the spotlight with a major European Central Bank meeting and U.S. consumer price data scheduled.
Finally, the rupee ended unchanged from its previous close of 77.66 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 77.67 and 77.55 respectively.
