Rupee ends marginally down against dollar

25 Sep 2018 Evaluate

Paring most of its early losses, Indian rupee ended marginally weaker against the American currency on Tuesday, due to dollar demand from banks and importers. Sentiments remained down-beat with private report stating that India’s current account deficit (CAD) is expected to be widened by 0.20% to 2.8% of GDP for fiscal year 2018-19. The widening current account gap is one of the major concerns which is putting pressure on the rupee, which has depreciated 13% against dollar this year. However, the local currency trimmed most of its initial losses, as traders found some support with PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry Vice President D K Aggarwal’s statement that India is approaching towards $100 billion foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow per annum by 2022 as volumes of FDI are increasing year after year. On the global front, dollar edged lower against a basket of the other major currencies on Tuesday as investors looked ahead to the upcoming Federal Reserve policy meeting, at which it was widely expected to deliver its third rate hike this year.

Finally, the rupee ended at 72.69, 6 paise weaker from its previous close of 72.63 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 72.96 and 72.57 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 72.81 and for Euro stood at 85.62 on September 25, 2018. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 64.47, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 95.50. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
