Rupee squanders a good start; depreciates on higher fiscal deficit numbers

31 Jan 2014 Evaluate

Indian rupee squandering off a good start, depreciated substantially throughout the session and ended quite weak against dollar on Friday, after fiscal deficit in the first three quarters of the current fiscal year ending March touched 95.2% of the budgeted target, suggesting the ordeal before the economy for achieving its fiscal deficit target of 4.8% of gross domestic product, which is highest among BRICS nations of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. However, slender gains of local equities lifted the currency from day’s low level. Nevertheless, month-end dollar demand from banks and oil importers, weighed on the sentiment of Indian currency. In the global market, U.S. dollar traded at a one-week high against a basket of major currencies on Friday after solid U.S. October-December growth numbers revived hopes that the global economy could, on the whole, take troubles from emerging markets in its stride.

Finally the rupee ended at 62.67, weaker by 10 paise from its previous close of 62.57 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 62.76 and 62.36 respectively.  The currency touched a high and low of 62.76 and 62.36 respectively.  The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 62.47 and for Euro stood at 84.60 on January 31, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 60.96, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 102.9493. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
