Forex traders said the rupid acts in a narrow range, because the reserve Bank of India protects it at approximately the level of 87.95, while continuing foreign funds drag the local unity lower.
At the interbancaire Veviezenmarkt, the rupid opened at 87.56 and then hit an intra-day low of 87.63 against the US dollar in the first trade, lower with 5 Paise from the previous closure.
On Thursday, the rupid 14 Paise established higher on 87.58 against the US dollar.
“The Indian rupid was largely unchanged in the session on Thursday and held his ground, despite fresh headwind of extra American rates. Steadying -movements of the central bank probably helped to contain volatility, even when the worldwide signals became less friendly to Caluta’s rising market,” said CR Forex Advisors.
In the meantime, the dollar index, which measures the strength of the Greenback with a basket of six currencies, decreased 0.27 percent to 98.13. Brent Crude, the global oil benchmark, fell by 0.17 percent at USD 66.32 per barrel in Futures -handel. “Given the prevailing circumstances, the rupid can try a withdrawal of 87.50 in the short term. Immediate support is 87.20 – A decisive break below this level would be necessary to signal a meaningful shift in the trend.
“On the other hand, resistance is seen at 87.70, with depreciation pressure that is still hanging in the midst of persistent commercial uncertainty and a solid background of the US dollar,” Pabari added.
In the area of the domestic stock market, the Sesex 242.24 points fell to 80,381.02 in early trade, while the Nifty 54.85 points dropped to 24,541.30.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) have loaded shares worth RS 4,997.19 Crore on Thursday on a net basis, according to Exchange Data.
In the meantime, US President Donald Trump has excluded the possibility of commercial negotiations with India until the rates have been resolved.
“No, only when we get it solved,” Trump said on Thursday in the Oval Office in response to a question whether he expects more trade negotiations with India, because he has announced 50 percent rates for the country.
Last week Trump had announced 25 percent mutual rates for India who came into effect from 7 August.
The US President also signed an executive order that hit an additional 25 percent levy on India for the purchases of Russian oil from New Delhi, which brought the total tasks to 50 percent, one of the highest imposed by the US to every country in the world.
The extra 25 percent duty will take effect after 21 days or August 27. PTI
