The response by Adani had a mixed effect on the stock group and market. The saga is likely to continue as a hanging risk in the minds of the investors in the medium-term. To expect a scientific assessment report either by a strong independent third party or government is dim in the short-term. Now the focus of the market will be on budget and fed policy.

Oil fell on Monday, giving up earlier gains, as looming interest rate hikes by major central banks and signs of strong Russian exports offset rising Middle East tension over a drone attack in Iran and hopes of higher Chinese demand.

Indian Rupee depreciated by 0.07% on weak domestic markets and huge FII outflows. However, weak Dollar index and decline in crude oil prices cushioned the downside. FPO related foreign inflows also supported Rupee at lower levels.
We expect Rupee to trade with a slight negative bias amid a weak tone in the domestic markets and expectations that US Dollar may rise on safe haven appeal.
Month-end Dollar demand from importers and selling pressure from FIIs may also put downside pressure on Rupee. Traders may remain cautious ahead of India’s union budget and US FOMC meeting later this week. USDINR spot price is expected to trade in a range of Rs 81 to Rs 82.20.
