On Monday, the dollar continued its upward trajectory following the release of the stronger-than-expected March ISM manufacturing index, signaling a hawkish stance on Fed policy. In contrast, the Reserve Bank of India introduced regulations stating that exchange-traded rupee derivative transactions should solely serve hedging purposes.
