Rupee settles 2 paise up at 95.89 against dollar after breaching 96 level
The rupee slipped below 96 to 96.10 against the dollar on Thursday, then recovered to close 2 paise up at 95.89, ending a seven-day fall. Heavy dollar selling by banks for the Reserve Bank of India helped. If you import goods or pay foreign vendors, your costs stay high. Spread large dollar payments over time rather than rushing one lump sum.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The rupee hit an intraday low of 96.10 before recovering to settle at 95.89, up 2 paise from the previous close.
- Bank dollar selling on behalf of the RBI helped the rupee recover and snapped its seven-day falling streak.
- A 25 basis point rate hike by the US Federal Reserve, foreign fund outflows and high crude oil prices had pushed the rupee down.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Review your upcoming foreign currency payments and consider spreading them across days instead of converting one large amount at once. Ask your bank or a forex adviser what choices suit your business.
