Rupee ends marginally higher against dollar on Monday

20 Jun 2022 Evaluate

Indian rupee ended marginally higher against dollar on Monday, owing to dollar sale by exporters and banks. Traders got support with Member of the economic advisory council to the prime minister -- Sanjeev Sanyal's statement that the country's internal market is in a good position and its macroeconomic stability is in a comfortable zone despite the ravage by the pandemic. He said that there has been an unprecedented crisis during the two-year-long pandemic and the Indian economy has emerged stronger after that. Some support also came with a private report stating that a combination of normal rainfalls aiding bumper agriculture output and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) further hiking interest rates to cut easy money in the system hold key to bringing down multi-year high inflation triggered by surging food and fuel prices. However, unabated foreign fund outflows restricted the appreciation bias in the rupee. On the global front, yen wallowed near a 24-year low against the dollar on Monday, licking its wounds after the Bank of Japan last week renewed its commitment to ultra-easy policy and bucked the trend among global peers to rapidly raise interest rates.

Finally, the rupee ended at 77.98, stronger by 7 paise from its previous close of 78.05 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 78.03 and 77.87 respectively.
