The US Dollar Index (DXY) has sensed support after printing a day low at 104.47. The corrective move in the USD Index is the outcome of disappearing fears of more rates announcement from the Federal Reserve (Fed).

The Indian Rupee remained in action on Tuesday over the release of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Q3 data.
