Indian Rupee came under pressure for second consecutive day to
drop to one month low and depreciated around 18 paise to end at
68.24 against the US dollar on Wednesday. The currency depreci-
ated on account of month end dollar demand from importers and
bankers. Further, constant outflow of foreign funds from markets
along with foreign institutional selling kept pressure on the curren-
cy.
Since 8th Nov’16, the foreign institutional investors have sold a
combined of $10 billion in domestic equity and debt markets. So
far this year, foreign institutional investors have bought $3.18 bil-
lion in equities and sold $6.73 billion in debt.
Moreover, weak domestic market sentiments kept the currency in negative territory. Indian Rupee moved in the range of
68.155 to 68.255 in Wednesday’s trade. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) fixed reference rate for the dollar was seen at 68.22
and Euro stood at 71.45 as on 28th Dec’16.

US Dollar Index gained around 0.22 percent in Wednesday’s trading session due to rise in risk aversion in global market senti-
ments which led to increase in demand for the low yielding currency. However, sharp upside in the currency was capped as a
result of unfavorable economic data from the country.

Euro against dollar dropped around 0.4 percent on Wednesday on account of weak global market sentiments. Further, strong-
er dollar kept pressure on the currency.

in October.
