Rupee strengthens for second straight session on Tuesday

02 Apr 2019 Evaluate

Continuing strong recovery momentum for the second day, Indian rupee ended significantly higher against US dollar on Tuesday, on account of selling of American currency by banks and exporters. Traders took encouragement with report that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will again swap up to $5 billion to infuse durable liquidity in the system, a month after the first swaps saw a massive response from banks. Market participants offered up to $16.31 billion against the notified amount of $5 billion in the auction held on March 26. The next auction for three-year tenure will be held on April 23. Traders overlooked a private survey showing that India’s manufacturing activity slowed to a six-month low in March as orders and output expanded at a weaker rate, thereby easing job creation to its lowest in eight months. The Nikkei India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) fell to 52.6 from a 14-month high of 54.3 in February. The rise was also supported by positive gains in the local equity markets. On the global front, euro fell to a three-and-a-half week low and stood precariously near its weakest since June 2017 on Tuesday, as investors seized on relatively strong data out of the US to buy the dollar.

Finally, the rupee ended at 68.74, 40 paise stronger from its previous close of 69.14 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 69.37 and 68.70 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 69.11 and for Euro stood at 77.44 on April 2, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 62.09, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 90.21.
