Rupee ends lower on Friday

01 Mar 2024 Evaluate

Indian rupee ended lower against the dollar on Friday amid rising crude oil prices in the overseas market and increased demand for the American currency from importers. Sentiments were down beat as eight core industries growth slowed to a 15-month low of 3.6 per cent in January 2024, on account of poor performance of sectors like refinery products and fertilizer. In December 2023, core sector growth had printed in at 4.9 percent. In January 2023, the core sector had grown by 9.7 per cent. Traders ignored India’s Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data. According to the report, the seasonally adjusted HSBC India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) rose to 56.9 in February as against 56.5 in January, pointing the strongest improvement in the health of the sector since September 2023. On the global front, the yen slipped against the dollar on Friday after Bank of Japan governor Kazuo Ueda said it was too soon to declare victory on pulling inflation up to a desired level. Meanwhile, the dollar was little changed against its other major peers, bitcoin took a breather after surging last month, and China's yuan dipped after weak manufacturing data. 

Finally, the rupee ended at 82.91 (Provisional), weaker by 2 paise from its previous close of 82.89 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 82.91 and 82.84 respectively.
