Indian rupee recovers from all-time low against UAE dirham
Forex traders said elevated crude oil prices, persistent foreign capital outflows weighed on the local unit
The Indian rupee inched higher by five paise to 77.99 against the US dollar (21.25 versus the UAE dirham) in opening trade on Wednesday.
Forex traders said lacklustre Indian markets, elevated crude oil prices and persistent foreign capital outflows weighed on the local unit. At the Indian interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 77.99 against the dollar, registering a rise of 5 paise over its previous close.
On Tuesday, the rupee had closed at its lifetime low of 78.04 against the US dollar.
Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, fell 0.28 per cent to 105.21.
The Indian rupee opened on a flat note against the dollar on Wednesday ahead of the US Fed meeting outcome, Sriram Iyer, Senior Research Analyst at Reliance Securities, said.
Asian and emerging market peers have started mixed, while equity futures have started with small gains and could cap the downside for the USD/INR spot pair, Iyer noted.
