SOURCE EVIDENCE

"Depreciating rupee has been weighing on the market this week. FCNR B deposit mobilisation by commercial banks is running below expectations, impacted by the high bond yields in the US. This trend, contrary to expectations, has impacted the rupee making it the worst performing currency in Asia this week with a depreciation above 1%. This has again impacted FII flows which had turned positive early this month. Yesterday FIIs sold equity for Rs 4206 crores which might impact sentiments today."
