Indian rupee depreciated against the US dollar on Monday amid continuous foreign fund outflows. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 2,117.50 crore on Friday, according to exchange data. Traders were cautious as India’s factory output growth, measured in terms of the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), slowed marginally to 4.9 per cent month-on-month in March 2024, as compared to 5.6 per cent in February 2024. However, it was 1.9 per cent in March 2023. For the month of March 2024, the Quick Estimates of IIP with base 2011-12 stood at 159.2. For the fiscal 2023-24, IIP growth touched 5.8 per cent against 5.2 per cent in the preceding financial year. On the global front, the dollar consolidated against major peers on Monday as market participants awaited U.S. inflation data to assess the prospects of interest rate cuts this year.
Finally, the rupee ended at 83.52 (Provisional), weaker by 1 paisa from its previous close of 83.51 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.53 and 83.51 respectively.
