Rupee settles at fresh record closing low on Friday

05 Oct 2018 Evaluate

Falling for the fourth consecutive session, Indian rupee plunged to a fresh record closing low against the US dollar on Friday, after Reserve Bank of India (RBI) kept its key rates unchanged. Traders remain concerned about Union minister Nitin Gadkari’s statement that the country is facing lot of economic crisis due to crude oil imports and need to reduce imports and increase exports. Some cautiousness also crept in with a private report indicating that amidst the erratic distribution of monsoon rains and with the possibilities of as many as 254 districts facing drought like situation, the total kharif cereals production likely to decline marginally by 1.71% compared to last kharif. However, the local currency recovered from its all-time low of 74.23 in final hours, as some relief came with a report that salaries in the country are projected to increase by 10% in 2019, the highest in the Asia Pacific region. On the global front, dollar's rally took a pause on Friday as investors awaited monthly U.S. jobs data later in the day and evaluated the impact of a two-day global government bond rout that has lifted U.S. Treasury yields to seven-year highs.

Finally, the rupee ended at 73.76, 18 paise weaker from its previous close of 73.58 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 74.23 and 73.42 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 73.58 and for Euro stood at 84.69 on October 5, 2018. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 64.59, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 95.88. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
