Indian rupee gained in sync with local equities on optimism that Europe will soon come up with some concrete steps this week towards activating a crucial euro zone bail-out fund. Indian currency also drew some solace from the reports stating the possibility of International Monetary Fund (IMF) lending a helping hand to Italy financially, which triggered short covering in common currency-Euro. A report on Sunday from the Turin daily La Stampa, stated that the IMF could provide financial assistance between Euro 400 to Euro 600 billion to Italy to allow Italian Premier Mario Monti about 12 to 18 months to introduce measures to bolster market confidence in the country's ability to repay its debt. However, a warning by Moody's Investors Service that the rapid escalation of the euro zone sovereign and banking crisis threatens the credit standing of all European government bond ratings, could cap a sharp rise in the rupee .
