Currency Weekly Report for 15/April./2013 – 18/April./2013
The rupee ended flat on Friday as a slump in local stocks after a weak revenue guidance from IT bellwether Infosys, was evened out by hopes the RBI would cut interest rates next month after data showed slowing consumer inflation. The rupee gained a modest 0.5 per cent for the week, which has been marked by concerns about outflows after foreign investors sold a net $37.29 million in equities in April and a net $510.57 million of debt, according to the latest available regulatory data. Markets look ahead at WPI on Monday which will be key in setting expectations ahead of the RBI’s May 3 policy review.
