INR settles near record low level amid inflationary concerns
The rupee on Wednesday slipped to an all-time low of 95.80 against the US dollar, and settled at 95.67 near its record closing low level amid elevated crude prices and West Asia geopolitical concerns. The rupee has become the worst-performing currency in Asia for the year, registering a loss of over 6 per cent so far this year, as elevated crude oil prices, a strong dollar and concerns regarding the West Asia crisis weighed on investor sentiments. Govt action of hiking import duties on gold and silver to 15 per cent failed to give much respite to the local unit. Moreover, Indias consumer price inflation in April rose for the sixth straight month to 3.48% from 3.40% in March. Food inflation, a key constituent of the countrys consumer price index, hit 4.2%, up from 3.87% in March, Indias Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation said in a release.
Benchmarks snap 4-day losing streak; Nifty settles above 23,400
Domestic equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty snapped a four-session losing streak to close higher on Wednesday, aided by value buying in beaten-down stocks. Market recovered from early volatility and profit booking to rebound sharply from intraday lows, with the Nifty settling above the 23,400 mark. Gains were led by metal, consumer durable and energy shares, while IT and auto stocks remained under pressure. However, overall sentiment stayed cautious amid elevated crude oil prices, persistent foreign institutional investor outflows, rupee weakness and lingering global inflation concerns. The Indian rupee also touched a fresh intraday record low of 95.80 against the US dollar.
Dollar index holds well above 98 mark as US CPI data spurs hawkish sentiment
The dollar index is stabilizing well above 98 mark following a sharp spike in the previous session after US data revealed hotter-than-expected US inflation that reduced expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. Data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Tuesday showed that the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) climbed 3.8% on year in April, compared to 3.3% in March. This figure came in hotter than the expectation of 3.7% and registered the highest since May 2023. The greenback also gains on the back of uncertainty surrounding geopolitical tensions between US and Iran. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US Dollar (USD) against six major currencies, is staying steady after two days of gains and trading around 98.26. Investors are now focused on the latest producer inflation report for further signals on how the Middle East war is affecting the US economy.
