Rupee strengthens a bit against dollar on Thursday

14 Jun 2018 Evaluate

Indian rupee ended marginally higher against dollar on Thursday, as bankers and exporters took to selling of American currency. Market participants took some support with report that Fitch Ratings raised India growth forecast for 2018-19 to 7.4 per cent from 7.3 per cent, but cited higher financing costs and rising oil prices as risks to growth. For 2019-20, it estimated the country to grow at 7.5 per cent. Besides, the dollar losing muscle against other currencies overseas also supported the rupee. However, gains were limited as some concerns remained among the investors with report showing that the country’s current account deficit (CAD) rose to $13 billion (Rs 878 billion and 1.9 per cent of gross domestic product, or GDP) in the fourth and final quarter (Q4 of 2017-18), compared to $2.6 billion (Rs 176 billion and 0.4 per cent of GDP) in the same period of 2016 -17. On the global front, euro firmed up against dollar on Thursday, ahead of a policy announcement from the European Central Bank, which may outline the bank’s plans for winding down its bond-buying program.

Finally, the rupee ended at 67.63, 1 paise stronger from its previous close of 67.64 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 67.73 and 67.57 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 67.68 and for Euro stood at 79.92 on June 14, 2018. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 61.52, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 90.68. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
