Rupee weakens against US dollar on Friday

03 Jan 2020 Evaluate

Indian rupee weakened against US dollar on Friday due to surge in crude oil prices after the news that Iranian Major-General Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis were killed in an air strike on their convoy at Baghdad airport. Besides, weak domestic equities also dragged down the domestic currency. Though, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) bought shares worth Rs 688.76 crore from the capital markets on a net basis Thursday, exchange data showed. On the global front, the Yuan eased slightly as a US air strike on Iranian targets in Iraq spooked emerging market currencies, quelling the cheer from hopes the United States and China will sign a phase 1 trade deal later this month.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 71.68, weaker by 30 paise from its previous close of 71.38 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 71.7325 and 71.5250 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 71.37 and for Euro stood at 80.03 on January 1, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 65.69, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 94.64.
