Snapping its three day losing streak, Indian rupee bounced back against dollar on Friday on fresh selling of the American currency by exporters. Local currency got some support with Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal’s statement that the implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST) from July 1 would be a major milestone in the growth of the country. He further said that government’s Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana, start-up and stand-up programs will help to improve the economic level of the people and economic disparities between the poor & the rich in the country will be reduced by 2020. On the global front, dollar limped towards its worst week since August on Friday, as storms surrounding Donald Trump's US presidency and Latin America's biggest economy, Brazil, began to calm.
Finally, the rupee ended at 64.64, 19 paise stronger from its previous close of 64.83 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 65.02 and 64.59 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 64.99 and for Euro stood at 72.29 on May 19, 2017. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 58.44, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 84.18. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
