Indian rupee pared all of its initial losses and ended marginally higher against dollar on Tuesday, owing to dollar sale by exporters and banks. Traders took some support as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is set to inject long-term liquidity worth $5 billion into the banking system through dollar-rupee buy-sell swap for a tenure of three years, the second such auction within a month. The RBI’s dollar-rupee swap auction would help absorb dollar inflows that could make the rupee stronger. However, late hour sell-off in domestic equity market along with dollar’s strength against major global currencies capped the gains. On the global front, dollar held near three-week highs on Tuesday as a drop in market volatility ramped up demand for riskier assets, with higher U.S. bond yields also offering some support.
Finally, the rupee ended at 69.62, 5 paise stronger from its previous close of 69.67 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 69.83 and 69.53 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 69.74 and for Euro stood at 78.42 on April 23, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 62.34, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 90.54.
