Rupee rises for 3rd straight day

16 May 2019 Evaluate

Rising for the third straight day, Indian rupee ended considerably stronger against dollar on Thursday, amid fresh selling of the American currency by exporters and banks. Sentiments remained up-beat with a report that the India's services exports rose by 6.6 per cent to $17.94 billion in March. Services imports in March too grew by 10.55 per cent to $11.37 billion. The trade balance in services for the month under review is estimated at $6.58 billion. A spectacular relief rally in local equities also supported the forex sentiment. Traders overlooked report that monsoon rains are expected to hit Kerala on June 6, five days after its normal onset date. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) also said the southwest monsoon arrival over the State is likely to be slightly delayed. On the global front, euro edged higher against the dollar and sterling on Thursday as the threat of U.S. tariffs on autos was pushed back, though the rise was capped by unease about this weekend's European parliamentary elections.

Finally, the rupee ended at 70.03, 30 paise stronger from its previous close of 70.34 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 70.32 and 69.99 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 70.20 and for Euro stood at 78.68 on May 16, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 64.01, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 90.63.
