Rupee Falls 10 Paise Against Dollar Amid FII Outflows
The rupee is the money used in India, and it became slightly weaker against the US dollar.
On Friday morning, one dollar was worth about 95.55 rupees.
Investors selling Indian shares put pressure on the rupee.
Problems with global oil supplies also added pressure.
However, the US dollar became a little weaker, which helped the rupee.
Oil prices also fell below USD 90 per barrel, limiting the rupee’s fall.
Traders expect the rupee to stay in a narrow range during the day.
They will also watch a speech by Kevin Warsh at the Jackson Hole Symposium.
The rupee opened at 95.54 and fell to 95.55 against the US dollar in early Friday trade.
Foreign institutional investor outflows and disruptions to global crude oil supplies weighed on the rupee.
A weaker dollar and Brent crude prices below USD 90 per barrel limited the currency’s decline.
The rupee had settled at 95.45 against the dollar on Thursday, down 1 paise.
Traders expect the rupee to remain between 95.40 and 95.60, while monitoring Kevin Warsh’s speech at Jackson Hole.
