Rupee plunges 51 paise to end at 87.23, worst in 3 weeks

New Indian Express  

MUMBAI: The rupee, after gaining in the past week, saw its worst single-say fall since February 5, plunging 51 paise or 0.6% to close at 87.21 on Tuesday or from 86.695 in the previous session, spooked by the continuing talks about additional tariffs by the US president Donald Trump and the offshore derivatives market expiry, which led to a surge in dollar demand. The rupee slipped 0.6% from Monday’s level, its biggest single-day fall since February 5, losing 51 paise, which was also due to month-end dollar demand by importers, a forex trader with a public sector lender said, adding the sustained sellout of equites by foreign funds only added to the continuing pain of the rupee which had been under pressure since last October, losing close to 3.5%. Covering of short positions due to the expiry of the non-deliverable forward contracts also weighed on the rupee, another public sector bank trader said, adding they expect the rupee to trade negative on the back of overall weakness in the domestic equity markets and persistent selling by foreign investors. "You have dollar demand on the back of maturity of NDF positions, importer hedging and weak Asian cues-all factors stacked up against the rupee, providing very little room for appreciation," a forex trader at a private sector bank said.
