The Dollar Index has recovered from the sharp fall seen yesterday and may trade within 101-103 now while Euro has dipped from 1.1033 but could limit its downside to 1.08.

USDCNY has bounced from 6.70 and can now attempt to rise back to 6.80. A range of 6.70-6.80 may hold for now. USDRUB may rise towards the upper end of the 72-68 range. USDINR has managed to close above 82.10 yesterday which is likely to hold and produce a further rise to 82.50. EURINR has declined from 90.44 and could test 88 before pausing.

The US Treasury yields have dipped further and are looking vulnerable to fall more unless a strong bounce-back is seen from current levels.

DAX has surged towards the key resistance at 15600, from where a short corrective fall is expected to be seen in the coming sessions.
