Rupee ends marginally lower against dollar

26 May 2022 Evaluate

Indian rupee ended marginally lower against dollar on Thursday on increased demand for the greenback from importers and banks. Traders remain concerned as Moody’s Investors Service slashed India's economic growth projection to 8.8 percent for 2022 from 9.1 percent earlier, citing high inflation. It stated the rise in crude oil, food, and fertilizer prices will weigh on household finances and spending in the months ahead. Rate hike to prevent energy and food inflation from becoming more generalized will slow the demand recovery's momentum. However, losses remain capped as some support came with a private report that India’s economy is expected to have grown at 9.2 per cent in the fiscal ended March 2022, after having contracted by 7.3 per cent in the previous financial year, aided by resilience in the rural economy, uptick in bank credit and rising GST collections. On the global front, U.S. dollar was little changed on Thursday, hovering above a one-month low, as minutes from the Federal Reserve's May meeting contained few surprises, with most participants favoring additional 50 basis point rate hikes at the June and July meetings.

Finally, the rupee ended at 77.61 (Provisional), weaker by 6 paise from its previous close of 77.55 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 77.65 and 77.52 respectively.
