Weak sentiments are seen in the global markets on the back slow growth in the Chinas manufacturing data coupled with mixed statement from the Federal Reserve yesterday. Thus taking cues from weak market scenario, we expect Rupee to depreciate today and strength in the DX will further add more downside pressure.
