Continuing its winning run for the fourth straight session, Indian rupee ended higher against dollar on Friday, due to sustained selling of the US currency by exporters and banks. Investors took support with the private report expecting a pick-up in the note ban affected rural demand from October this year. The report further said that the second consecutive bumper crop on good monsoons, farm loan waivers, and lower agriculture input costs will help revive the rural demand. The domestic unit also got some support as dollar weakened overseas along with positive gains in the local equity markets. On the global front, the dollar slipped against yen as investors awaited the closely watched non-farm jobs report later in the session for potential relief.
Finally, the rupee ended at 63.57, 11 paise stronger from its previous close of 63.68 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 63.74 and 63.53 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 63.70 and for Euro stood at 75.66 on August 04, 2017. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 57.85, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 83.70. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
