NRI alert: Indian rupee loses further against UAE dirham
The 30-share Sensex was trading at 53,271.67
The Indian rupee extended its losses and slipped 12 paise to 77.74 against the US dollar (21.18 versus the UAE dirham) in early trade on Thursday, weighed down by a muted trend in Indian equities and unabated foreign fund outflows.
At the Indian interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 77.72 against the American dollar, then lost ground to quote at 77.74, registering a fall of 12 paise from the last close.
The rupee opened weaker against the dollar on Thursday as global equities plunged on concerns that high inflation and monetary policy tightening will fuel an economic slowdown, said Sriram Iyer, senior research analyst at Reliance Securities.
Iyer further said inflation will remain the biggest strain on sentiment, both globally and locally.
Additionally, foreign equity outflows will keep appreciating bias limited.
The dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, was trading 0.15 per cent lower at 103.65, tracking rising US yields and fears about higher interest rates. The US dollar eased slightly on Thursday morning in Asian trade; however, the downside could be capped as poor US housing data may add to slowdown concerns.
