The Indian rupee touched its highest in nearly a month on Thursday, as stronger domestic stocks raised expectations of more capital inflows and the euro’s rise prompted exporters to sell dollars. The rupee ended at 46.53/54 per dollar, off an intraday high of 46.52 and about 0.5 percent higher than Wednesday’s close of 46.75/76.
SPOT/INR :
The Indian rupee opened slightly weaker at 46.60/61 against the dollar compared to Thursday’s close. But dollar was weak against the majors and gains in other regional peers. Traders would watch domestic share market performance for cues. The MSCI index of Asian stock was down 0.3 percent, while the Nifty India stock futures traded in Singapore were down 0.5 percent suggesting a weak open in the local market. Most regional peers were stronger against the dollar.
Forward Premium :
