Rupee ended substantially lower against dollar

26 Feb 2021 Evaluate

Indian rupee ended substantially lower against dollar on Thursday tracking weak Asian currencies and heavy selling in the domestic equities. Traders took a note of WTO review report stating that India's trade policy had remained largely unchanged since the previous review (in 2015), with continued heavy reliance on instruments such as the tariff, export taxes, minimum import prices, import and export restrictions, and licensing. On customs duties, it said, concerns were expressed with respect to its complexity and uncertainty, the increase in tariff rates, tariff preferences and tariff concessions. Meanwhile, RBI in its latest report on Currency and Finance (RCF) for 2020-21 has said the current numerical framework  to define price stability -- an  inflation target of 4 per cent with a +/-2 per cent tolerance band -- is appropriate for the next five years. It also said the focus of flexible inflation targeting (FIT) on price stability augurs well for further liberalisation of the capital account to globalise Indian rupee. On the global front, dollar rose against most major currencies on Friday, lifted by an increase in U.S. bond yields overnight, while the pound dropped to its lowest in over a week.

Finally, the rupee ended at 73.47, 1.04 paise weaker from its previous close of 72.43 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 73.23 and 72.43 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 72.49, and for Euro stood 87.27 on February 25, 2021. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 68.45, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 102.65.
