Rupee ends flat on Wednesday

23 Oct 2024 Evaluate

Indian rupee ended flat on Wednesday as lackluster sentiment in domestic equity markets and volatile geopolitics ahead of the US Presidential election kept investors on the sidelines. Traders were cautious after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) kept its growth forecasts for India unchanged at 7 per cent and 6.5 per cent for FY25 and FY26, respectively. It held that pent up demand accumulated during the pandemic has been exhausted as the economy “reconnects” with its potential growth. On the global front, dollar climbed above yen on Wednesday and kept the euro pinned at a two month low, supported by expectations the Fed won't rush to cut rates and investors bracing for a potential Trump election victory.

Finally, the rupee ended flat with its previous close of 84.08 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 84.08 and 84.07 respectively.
