Indian rupee depreciated on Wednesday amid a strengthening greenback and increase in crude prices. Traders were worried as India’s services sector growth eased in the month of November, impacted by slowdown in new orders and output along with prices pressures. According to the survey report, the seasonally adjusted HSBC India Services PMI Business Activity Index eased to 58.4 in November from 58.5 in October. Further, the HSBC India Composite PMI Output Index -- which measures both manufacturing and services -- also slowed down to 58.6 in November as against 59.1 in October. On the global front, ringgit rebounded from yesterday’s losses to close higher against the greenback on Wednesday. This was due to investors shifting their focus towards emerging currencies due to concerns about the global economic outlook.
Finally, the rupee ended at 84.75 (Provisional), depreciated by 7 paise from its previous close of 84.68 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 84.76 and 84.65 respectively.
