The Indian rupee witnessed heavy volatility in early trade on Monday and depreciated 15 paise to 80.93 against the US dollar (22.05 versus the UAE dirham) in line with a muted trend in the Indian equities.
At the Indian interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened on a strong note at 80.53 against the dollar, then pared the gains to quote at 80.93, registering a loss of 15 paise over its previous close.
On Friday, the rupee appreciated by 62 paise to close at 80.78 against the dollar (22.01 versus the UAE dirham).
“We expect the rupee to trade in the 80.40-80.70 range intra-day with appreciation bias. A test of 80.10 in this swing is possible. We are likely to see some more inflows till month end into domestic equities on MSCI index re-balancing,” IFA Global Research Academy said in a research note.
