Rupee ends marginally higher against dollar

28 Aug 2018 Evaluate

Indian rupee ended marginally higher against dollar on Tuesday, owing to dollar sale by exporters and banks. Sentiments turned optimistic with Economic policy think-tank, the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) in its latest report retaining India’s growth forecast for the current fiscal at 7.4%, citing comfortable agricultural sector outlook and a marked improvement in the external sector. Some support also came with the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion’s (DIPP) latest data showing that foreign direct investment (FDI) in India grew by 23% to $12.75 billion during the April-June quarter of 2018-19, as compared to foreign fund inflows of $10.4 billion in April-June 2017-18. However, gains were limited with State Bank of India’s (SBI) research report Ecowrap that India’s current account deficit (CAD) is likely to touch 2.8% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the current fiscal (FY19) on account of surge in crude oil prices and moderate growth in exports. On the global front, dollar held near a one-month low against a basket of its rivals on Tuesday as a U.S.-Mexico trade deal aimed at overhauling the North American Free Trade Agreement boosted appetite for riskier assets.

Finally, the rupee ended at 70.10, 5 paise stronger from its previous close of 70.15 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 70.29 and 70.05 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 70.16 and for Euro stood at 81.92 on August 28, 2018. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 63.08, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 90.32. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
