Indian Rupee continued to strengthen for second consecutive day and
appreciated around 9 paise to end at 66.72 against the US dollar on
Monday. The currency appreciated on account of selling of dollars
from exporters and banks. Further, upbeat domestic market senti-
ments led to positive movement in the currency. So far this year, the
rupee has gained 1.82%, while foreign institutional investors (FIIs)
have bought $1.55 billion and $423.90 million from local equity and
debt markets, respectively.
However, sharp upside was capped after China cut its growth target
for this year to 6.5%, compared to its 2016 goal of 6.5-7% when actual
growth came in at 6.7%.
Indian Rupee moved in the range of 66.68 to 66.78 in Monday’s trade. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) fixed reference rate for
the dollar was seen at 66.7559 and Euro stood at 70.7346 as on 6th Mar’17.
For the month of March 2017, FII outflows in equities totalled at Rs.2388.98 crores ($357.67 million) as on 6th March 2017.
Year to date basis, net capital outflows stood at Rs.11114.56 crores ($1660.11 million) as on 6th March 2017.
US Dollar Index grew around 0.1 percent in Monday’s trading session due to rise in risk aversion in global market sentiments
which led to increase in demand for the low yielding currency. However, unfavourable economic data from the country
capped sharp upside movement in the currency.
US Factory Orders dropped marginally by 1.2 percent in January as against a rise of 1.3 percent in December.
Euro against dollar declined around 0.4 percent on Monday on account of strength in the dollar index coupled with weak glob-
al market sentiments. However, favourable economic data from the region cushioned sharp fall in the currency.
Euro Zone Raw Materials Price Index (RMPI) dropped marginally by 0.2 points to 49.9-mark in February as against a rise of 50.1
-level in January. Euro region Sentix Investor Confidence surged by 3.3 points to 20.7-level in March from 17.4-mark in Febru-
ary.
The Sterling Pound dropped around 0.52 percent in Monday’s trade on account of stronger dollar along with weak global mar-
ket sentiments. However, estimates of favourable economic data from the country during the week restricted sharp downside
movement in the currency.
The Japanese Yen against dollar appreciated marginally in Monday’s trading session due to rise in risk aversion in global mar-
ket sentiments which led to increase in demand for the low yielding currency.
