Rupee ends marginally lower against dollar

22 Jan 2018 Evaluate

Indian rupee ended marginally lower against dollar on Monday, on mild demand for the American currency from importers and banks. However, a strong domestic equity market capped the rupee’s losses. Traders remained cautious with a private report pointing out that India’s fiscal deficit is expected to increase to 3.5% of GDP in 2018-19 but it will not have any material impact on macro stability risks. As per the report, fiscal deficit target may widen to 3.5 per cent of GDP in 2018-19 from 3.4 per cent in 2017-18. Meanwhile, domestic equity markets hit record closing highs for a fourth straight session on Monday. On the global front, the dollar was pinned near a three-year low on Monday, as a US government shutdown encouraged investors to add to bearish bets against the greenback.

Finally, the rupee ended at 63.88, 4 paise weaker from its previous close of 63.84 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 64.00 and 63.71 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 63.88 and for Euro stood at 78.12 on January 22, 2018. While the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 57.64, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 88.59. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
