The rupee closed flat at 71.07 against the US dollar on Thursday as the anxiety over US-China trade talks kept investors on the edge.
At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee had opened at 70.96 against the US dollar. During the day, the domestic unit fluctuated between a high of 70.87 and a low of 71.15. The rupee finally settled at 71.07, unchanged from its previous close.
“Ahead of today’s scheduled meeting between the world’s largest economies, we did not see much participation in USD/INR, the pair traded in a very tight range,” Emkay Global Financial Services Head of Currency Rahul Gupta said.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said China is facing its hardest time in decades in maintaining the economy and badly wants to have a business deal with the US.
According to Gaurang Somaiyaa, Forex & Bullion Analyst, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Private Ltd, the rupee consolidated in a narrow range for the first half of the session but was weighed down following sell-off in domestic equities.
“Market participants are now awaiting for fresh updates from the meeting that will be held in the next couple of sessions between US and Chinese officials and any progress on the same could extend gains for the rupee,” Somaiyaa said.
Meanwhile, foreign funds pulled out Rs 485.24 crore from the capital markets on a net basis on Wednesday, provisional data showed.
