Market attention is focused on the outcome of the Federal Reserve monetary policy meeting today, which could provide direction for the dollar and euro pairing, as reported by Business Standard. The Dollar Index is down marginally at 101.21, indicating some pressure on the greenback ahead of the Fed decision. Modest gains in European equities are supporting the single currency after it fell on a sustained basis over recent sessions, though the overall sentiment remains choppy amid the corrective mood in crude oil markets.
On the equities front, European markets are up modestly and could potentially offer some support to the single currency, according to Business Standard reports. However, the overall movement has been very sideways for the euro, indicating limited directional momentum despite the modest gains in European equity markets. This sideways movement reflects the current uncertain market conditions affecting the euro, with technical indicators suggesting the pair may continue to face selling pressure in the near term.
In the Indian market context, EUR/INR futures are currently trading at 109.38, up marginally on the day on NSE, as reported by Business Standard.

The modest gains in Indian markets provide some support for the rupee against the euro, though the overall movement remains very sideways and limited in directional momentum.
