Tumbling for second straight session, Rupee ended weaker against dollar on Monday amid massive sell-off in domestic equity markets, rising crude oil prices and strong dollar in the overseas market. Sentiments were impacted as foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were net sellers of stocks worth Rs 3,930.62 on Thursday, thus taking the total net selling to nearly Rs 10,000 crore so far this month in the cash segment. This is following Rs 25,572 crore worth selling in October. Since the start of this fiscal year, FIIs have net sold shares to the tune of Rs 75,500 crore. Adding more pessimism, RBI data showed the country’s foreign exchange reserves declined by $ 763 million to $640.112 billion in the week ended November 12. On the global front; euro fell on Monday to trade close to a 16-month low on growing concerns over the impact of new COVID-19 restrictions in Europe, with Austria starting a full lockdown and Germany considering following suit.
Finally, the rupee ended 74.39 (provisional), weaker by 9 paise from its previous close of 74.30 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 74.51 and 74.31 respectively.
