Indian rupee is trading almost flat against the US dollar on Tuesday amid positive domestic equity markets. Some cautiousness came in with a private report that India is poised for its lowest monsoon rains in eight years, with the EI Nino weather pattern seen crimping September precipitation after an August that is on track to be the driest in over a century. However, down side remained capped as India Ratings said that the country’s CAD is likely to narrow to around $10 billion or 1 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in April-June quarter (Q1) of the current fiscal year (FY24), with falling trade deficit. The country's CAD stood at $18 billion or 2.1 per cent in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading almost flat at 82.64, marginally from its previous close of 82.63 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 82.6450 and 82.5800 respectively.
