Rupee settles lower against greenback

01 Sep 2021 Evaluate

Erasing previous session gains, Indian Rupee ended weaker against dollar on Wednesday, on account of sustained dollar demand from importers and banks. Sentiments got hit as India’s manufacturing sector activities moderated in August, as business orders and production rose at softer rates due to the pandemic and rising input costs. The seasonally adjusted IHS Markit India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) stood at 52.3 in August, down from 55.3 in July, indicating a softer rate of growth that was subdued and below its long-run average. However, downfall remained capped as India’s economy grew by 20.1 per cent in the first quarter of 2021-22, helped by a low base of the year-ago period. Also, growth of eight core infrastructure industries grew by 9.4 percent in July 2021 as compared to same month last year, mainly due to a low base effect and uptick in production of coal, natural gas, steel, cement and electricity. On the global front; sterling steadied on Wednesday close to two-week highs versus the dollar, with the pound taking its cue from other currencies given this week is light on data and Bank of England speakers.

Finally, the rupee ended 73.08, weaker by 8 paise from its previous close of 73.00 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 73.50 and 72.92 respectively.
