The Indian Rupee (INR) opens on a positive note against the US Dollar (USD) on Tuesday. The USD/INR pair slides to near 88.10 as the US Dollar extends its downside, following dismal United States (US) official job data for August.
The US Dollar Index (DXY), an index of the value of the US Dollar (USD) measured against a basket of six world currencies, extends its downside to around 97.40 during the Asian session on Tuesday. The expectations of jumbo rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) undermine the DXY.
The USD/CHF pair seesaws between tepid gains/minor losses through the Asian session on Monday and is currently trading around the 0.7975 region, nearly unchanged for the day.
