Rupee loses strength after making a positive start

16 Nov 2016 Evaluate

Indian rupee was trading marginally weaker after a good start, earlier the rupee strengthened against the dollar on some selling of the American currency by bank and exporters. Reports showed that the retail inflation declined to 14-month low of 4.2% in October from 4.39% a month ago as inflation in fruits and pulses softened, raising the chances of an interest rate cut by the central bank, helping to lift the rupee. On the global front, the dollar retreated from an 11-month high against a basket of currencies on Wednesday, taking a breather from a week-long rally driven by a rise in US bond yields after Donald Trump won the presidential election.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 67.79, weaker by 4 paise from its previous close of 67.75 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 67.7950 and 67.55 respectively.
