THE INDIAN RUPEE TOUCHES ALL TIME LOW AGAINST KUWAITI DINAR

  • 29/06/2022

Kuwait City: The partially convertible rupee was trading at a record low of 78.86 per dollar (257.17 versus the Kuwaiti Dinar) in early trade, compared to its close of 78.85 on Tuesday.


According to stock exchange data, foreign institutional investors were net sellers in the capital market on Tuesday as they offloaded shares worth Rs 12.44 billion.

The renewed rise in global crude oil prices too have a negative bearing on the market sentiments, said analysts.

On Tuesday, the indices closed steady, while they have declined during the majority of the sessions so far in June.

On rupee depreciation, Sugandha Sachdeva, Vice President – Commodity and Currency Research at Religare Broking, said: “The Indian rupee has plummeted to fresh lows, depreciating by around half a percent against the dollar owing to a muted trend in domestic equities, and strong gains in crude oil prices.”

“Persistent selling by FIIs in the domestic markets is also putting pressure on the rupee,” said Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities Ltd.

According to Kalantri, further economic sanctions on Russia may drive global energy prices higher and put pressure on emerging market currencies.

“We expect the rupee to remain volatile this week and could cross 78.55 levels,” Kalantri said.
