Investors are anxiously watching clues from Federal Reserve this week on its stance over a stronger monetary policy to support the US recovery. USD/INR 1-month NDF at 55.13 as against NY close at 55.00-05. Asian stocks trading with cuts with MSCI's Asia ex-Japan index up 0.31%, Nifty futures in Singapore down 0.26%. The euro and high-beta currencies like the Australian dollar started trading on Monday with a spring in their step, following a rally late last week in part on the back of diminishing worries about China's economic health.
