Market Update

U.S. stocks closed slightly lower Wednesday, building a little on
losses from the previous day, when a dollar surge and growing
expectations of a rate hike by the Federal Reserve helped
trigger the Dow's biggest point drop in five months. The S&P
500 finished lower by 3.92 points, or 0.2%, at 2,040.24. The
Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down by 27.55 points, or
0.2%, to 17,635.39, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 9.85
points, or 0.2%, to end at 4,849.94.

D-Street witnessed a volatile session of trade and closed lower.
Hindalco leading the decline following a scrutiny over the coal
block allocations.
Currency Update

The ICE U.S. dollar index rose 1% to 99.68. The index is within
striking distance of 100.00, a level it hasn't traded above since
April 2003. The euro's depreciation against the dollar
accelerated Wednesday, pushing it closer to parity, as
expectations for a June rate hike by the Federal Reserve drew
more investors to the already-crowded dollar trade. The euro
traded as low as $1.0547, a nearly 12-year low, compared with
$1.0700 late Tuesday in New York. Against the yen, the dollar
traded at ¥121.43, compared with ¥121.13 on Tuesday.
Disappointing U.K. manufacturing data pushed the pound to
$1.4928, its lowest level since mid-2013.

Rupee dipped for the third straight session and eased by two
paise to close at fresh two-month low of 62.78 against
greenback on sustained demand for US dollar from importers.
At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market, the Indian
rupee resumed lower at 62.83 a dollar from yesterday's close
of 62.76. It moved in a range of 62.69 and 62.87 before ending
at 62.78, showing a loss of two paise or 0.03 per cent.
