Indian rupee depreciated against the US dollar on Monday weighed down by the overall strength of the American currency in the overseas market. Traders were worried as India’s retail inflation rose to four-month high of 5.08 percent in June compared with 4.75 percent in the previous month as food inflation galloped to 9.4 percent given the impact of heatwave on vegetables. Besides, the annual rate of inflation based on the all-India Wholesale Price Index number edged up to 3.36 per cent in June this year compared to the same month of the previous year. The month-over-month change in WPI for June stood at 0.39 per cent as compared to May. On the global front, dollar held steady on Monday. Investors evaluated what the attempted assassination of former U.S. President Donald Trump might mean for his 2024 election chances and its market impact.
Finally, the rupee ended at 83.61 (Provisional), weaker by 10 paise from its previous close of 83.51 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.62 and 83.53 respectively.
