Rupee tumbles against greenback

17 Feb 2021 Evaluate

Indian rupee ended lower against dollar on Wednesday, on account of sustained dollar demand from importers and banks. Sentiments were fragile as rating agency Crisil expects stressed assets of non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) to touch Rs 1.5-1.8 lakh crore or 6-7.5% of the assets under management (AUM) by the end of the current financial year. Adding pessimism, loan growth is slowing across financial markets. Growth in non-food credit slipped back below the 6% mark to 5.92% year-on-year (y-o-y) during the fortnight ended January 29 from 6.35% y-o-y in the previous fortnight. As on January 29, outstanding non-food credit stood at Rs 106.17 lakh crore, data from Reserve Bank of India (RBI) showed. Besides, lackluster trade in domestic equity markets also put pressure in rupee. On the global front; dollar rose against low-yielding currencies on Wednesday, reaching a five-month high against the yen, as U.S. bond yields jumped on the prospects of further economic recovery and a possible acceleration in inflation.

Finally, the rupee ended at 72.74, 5 paise weaker from its previous close of 72.69 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 72.92 and 72.72 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 72.72, and for Euro stood 88.25 on February 16, 2021. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 68.91, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 101.32.
