Rupee strengthens against US dollar on Tuesday

27 Mar 2018 Evaluate

Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Tuesday after the government announced lower-than-expected borrowing plan for the first half of FY19. The government said it will borrow Rs 2.88 lakh crore in the April-September period of 2018-19, lower than Rs 3.72 lakh crore it had borrowed in the first half of the current fiscal, and introduce bonds linked to CPI or retail inflation. Further, a positive opening of the equity market also boosted the domestic currency. Foreign investors have infused over Rs 8,400 crore in the domestic equity market so far in March. However, they pulled out nearly Rs 10,000 crore from the debt market during the period under review. Though, US dollar strengthened against some currencies overseas, capped further up move. On the global front, the safe haven Japanese yen sagged on Tuesday as optimism that the United States and China could begin negotiations on trade helped ease concerns about a trade war, reviving demand for riskier assets.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 64.79, stronger by 7 paise from its previous close of 64.86 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 64.8100 and 64.7275 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 64.90 and for Euro stood at 80.25 on March 26, 2018. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 61.82, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 91.86. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
