Besides, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) showing that India’s foreign exchange reserves rose to a new high for the third straight week, reaching $645.58 billion in the week ended March 29. The total reserves rose by $2.95 billion in the previous week. On the global front, dollar paused on Monday as investors trained their sights on U.S. inflation data later this week, while the yen slipped close to 34-year lows as traders remained on alert for any potential action in Tokyo to support the weakening currency.
