Continuing previous session drubbing, Indian rupee concluded substantially weaker against dollar on Tuesday on account of continued dollar demand from importers and banks. Sentiments remained dented as a steep rise in oil prices fanned fears of runaway inflation and slowing economic growth. However, downfall remain capped with Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal’s statement that goods exports will exceed the ambitious target set for the current fiscal and touch $410 billion, despite the supply-side disruptions caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Traders took note of report that Reserve Bank of India has accepted $5.135 billion in USD/INR sell-buy swap auction conducted on Tuesday against the notified amount of $5 billion. On the global front, euro was trading near 22-month lows on Tuesday as war in Ukraine darkens Europe's economic outlook, while currencies lifted by rocketing energy prices paused after a weeks-long rally.
Finally, the rupee ended at 77.00 (Provisional), weaker by 7 paise from its previous close of 76.93 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 77.05 and 76.71 respectively.
