Rupee rises against dollar on Monday

28 Apr 2025 Evaluate

Indian rupee appreciated against the US dollar on Monday, supported by sustained foreign fund inflows, easing crude oil prices and a bullish trend in domestic equities. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) bought equities worth Rs 2,952.33 crore on a net basis on Friday, according to exchange data. Strong domestic fundamentals, such as rising forex reserves also boosted investor sentiments. Traders took support with the data showing that India’s industrial growth measured in Index of Industrial Production (IIP) picked up to 3.0 per cent in March 2025 from 2.7 per cent in the previous month with growth in manufacturing and electricity generation. On the global front, the dollar held steady on Monday as investors waited warily on news of U.S. trade policy and braced for a week packed with economic data that may give a first glimpse of whether U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war is hitting home. 

Finally, the rupee ended at 85.04 (Provisional), appreciated by 37 paise from its previous close of 85.41 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 85.42 and 84.96 respectively.
