Rupee ends weaker against dollar on Tuesday

27 Dec 2022 Evaluate

Rupee ended weaker against dollar on Tuesday amid rising crude oil prices. Traders were cautious after credit rating agency, India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) in its ‘December Credit Market Tracker’ has forecasted that the core inflation is likely to remain elevated in the remaining FY23, given that there is a pending pass-through of higher input costs by producers and a continued robust demand in the economy. Besides, a private report stated that a sustained surge in Covid cases in China could further exacerbate a contraction in India’s exports to its fourth-largest market in the coming months, as order flow has already been faltering at a steady pace. Street now forecast a 40-45% crash in exports to China this fiscal from $21.3 billion in FY22 if the Covid surge continues through January. On the global front, Russian rouble weakened on Tuesday, struggling to consolidate a slight recovery from last week's slide as the market comes to terms with the prospect of lower export revenue in the wake of restrictions on Russian oil.

Finally, the rupee ended at 82.85 (Provisional), weaker by 20 paise from its previous close of 82.65 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 82.88 and 82.71 respectively.
