Indian rupee appreciated against the US dollar on Monday supported by a weak US dollar and a decline in crude oil prices. Investors overlooked report that India’s foreign exchange reserves decreased by $4.8 billion, reaching $670.12 billion for the week ending August 9, falling from the previous all-time high. Forex reserves, as of August 2, had touched an all-time high of $675 billion, reflecting a robust external sector performance. On the global front, Sterling touched a one-month high against the dollar on Monday, as growing bets around U.S. interest rate cuts pushed the greenback lower against other major currencies.
Finally, the rupee ended at 83.88 (Provisional), stronger by 7 paise from its previous close of 83.95 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 83.93 and 83.84 respectively.
