Rupee Strengthens Sharply Against A Softer Dollar, Despite High Inflation Reading

Rupee Today: The Indian currency strengthens to about 79.30 per dollar

The rupee strengthened sharply against a softer dollar, which is off its 20-year peak, broadly reflecting a general upswing in risk assets globally, despite a surge in domestic inflation last month after falling for three months before.

Bloomberg quoted the rupee last at 79.3112, compared to its previous close of 79.5313 and well off its record weak level of over 80 per dollar.

In early trade, the rupee gained 25 paise to 79.28 against the US dollar in early trade, according to PTI.

That even as retail inflation rose back up to 7 per cent last month, stalling a three-month downtrend and in contrast to the Reserve Bank of India's slowing price pressures expectations.

While that inflation surge suggests more aggressive rate hikes by the RBI, falling crude prices, ribust capital inflows have supported the Indian currency.

Crude oil is down about 30 per cent since the middle of June and back to levels not seen since Russia invaded Ukraine.

But the expected softer reading of US inflation due later on Tuesday was driving a global risk assets' rally and weighed on the dollar, helping the domestic currency.

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
