Paring all its initial losses, Indian rupee ended slightly higher against the US dollar due to selling of American currency by exporters as well as banks. Fresh fund inflows boosted rupee sentiments. Some support also came with report that the government will inject Rs 42,000 crore into debt-laden PSBs by March-end, in order to improve financial health of the public sector banks (PSBs). However, losses were capped as investors remain cautious with India Ratings and Research’s statement that India is set to miss its fiscal deficit target for the year ending March 2019 due to a shortfall in revenues and lower-than-targeted disinvestment proceeds. On the global front, the pound weakened following US President Donald Trump’s warning that the Brexit deal is bad for the UK.
Finally, the rupee ended at 70.79, 8 paise stronger from its previous close of 70.87 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 71.02 and 70.71 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 70.90 and for Euro stood at 80.42 on November 27, 2018. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 62.49, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 90.83. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
