Indian rupee ended stronger against dollar on Monday due to fresh selling of the American currency by banks and exporters. Besides, healthy growth in the domestic equity markets added to the rupee gains. Traders were positive, amid reports that foreign portfolio investors (FPI) have pumped in a net Rs 7,245 crore into the Indian capital markets in August so far amid positive sentiments due to an improving macroeconomic environment. Sentiments were upbeat as Crisil Ratings revised the credit quality outlook of India Inc for fiscal 2022 to positive from cautiously optimistic earlier, predicated on a sustained recovery in demand after the blip caused by the second wave of Covid-19 afflictions in the first quarter. The increase in coverage of vaccinations should also mitigate the impact of a third wave if it comes about. On the global front; sterling edged up against the dollar and was flat against the euro on Monday, as risk sentiment across markets recovered somewhat after global growth worries sparked a broad selloff last week.
Finally, the rupee ended 74.22, stronger by 17 paise from its previous close of 74.39 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 74.30 and 74.22 respectively.
