17 Jul 2023 Evaluate

Indian rupee ended higher against dollar on Monday, as domestic equity benchmarks scaling all-time high levels and weakness in the American currency overseas boosted investor sentiments. Besides, steady foreign fund inflows into domestic capital markets also supported the local unit. Traders got support as the Reserve Bank of India said India’s foreign exchange reserves jumped $1.229 billion to $596.28 billion in the week ended July 7. Meanwhile, data from the National Securities Depository (NSDL) showed that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have remained net buyers in Indian stock markets for the fifth straight month. FPIs bought Indian stocks worth Rs 7,936 crore, Rs 11,631 crore, Rs 43,838 crore, and Rs 47,148 crore in March, April, May, and June, respectively. In July too they have been firm and so far in the month infused funds worth Rs 30,660 crore. On the global front, dollar edged lower on Monday against a basket of currencies after suffering its biggest weekly drop of the year as traders waited on economic data and policy decisions before selling it down any further. 

Finally, the rupee ended at 82.05 (Provisional), stronger by 12 paise from its previous close of 82.17 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 82.20 and 82.03 respectively.
