Rupee depreciates marginally against dollar

01 Jan 2024 Evaluate

Indian rupee started the New Year on a weak note and depreciated against the US dollar on Monday amid dollar demand from importers coupled with lackluster trade in domestic equity markets. Also, trading activity was muted in absence of global cues. Some cautiousness came in as data released by the Controller General of Accounts showed that the central government's fiscal deficit widened to Rs 9.07 lakh crore in April-November from Rs 8.04 lakh crore in April-October. However, downside remained capped amid foreign fund inflows. According to exchange data, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net buyers in the capital markets on December 29 as they purchased shares worth Rs 1,459.12 crore. Adding some optimism, the finance ministry expects the Indian economy's GDP growth rate in 2023-24 to comfortably exceed its forecast of 6.5 percent following the blockbuster data for July-September. Also, data released by the Reserve Bank showed that the forex reserves continued to rise for the third consecutive week, adding $4.471 billion more in the week ending December 22, taking the total to $620.441 billion.

Finally, the rupee ended at 83.22 (Provisional), weaker by 6 paise from its previous close of 83.16 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.24 and 83.15 respectively.
