Rupee appreciates against dollar for fifth straight session

13 Jan 2020 Evaluate

Rising for the fifth consecutive day, Indian rupee ended higher against dollar on Monday, on continued selling of the American currency by exporters and banks and easing crude oil prices. Sentiments remained buoyant with India's factory output growth, measured by the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), grew 1.8% in November 2019, mainly on account of improvement in the manufacturing sector. The IIP had contracted by 1.4% in August, 4.3% in September and 4% (revised) in October in 2019. A spectacular relief rally in local equities also supported the forex sentiment. However, gains remain capped with eminent economist R Nagaraj’s statement that India would need to grow at 9% to achieve the target of $5 trillion economy by 2024, which currently looks ‘unimaginably ambitious’. On the global front, Sterling extended losses on Monday, after data showed Britain’s economy grew at its weakest annual pace in more than seven years in November.

Finally, the rupee ended at 70.86, 8 paise stronger from its previous close of 70.94 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 70.93 and 70.75 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 71.11 and for Euro stood at 79.00 on January 10, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 64.90, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 93.05.
