Rupee ends marginally up against dollar

03 Aug 2018 Evaluate

Reversing day’s early losses, Indian rupee ended marginally higher against dollar on Friday, owing to dollar sale by exporters and banks. Sentiments turned optimistic with private report that India’s economic growth momentum is likely to pick up further in the April-June period and the country is expected to clock GDP growth of 7.5% in this financial year. Local currency also found some support with the India meteorological department (IMD) stating that India is set to receive average rainfall during the last two months of the crucial monsoon season that stretches between June and September. It also added that the rainfall for the country as a whole during the second half of the season is likely to be 95 percent of a long period average. Moreover, a spectacular rebound in domestic equities too supported the rupee. On the flip side, pound fell on Friday as Mark Carney warned the risk of no deal is 'uncomfortably high' and revealed banks had been stress tested for a major recession.

Finally, the rupee ended at 68.61, 10 paise stronger from its previous close of 68.71 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 68.84 and 68.61 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 68.79 and for Euro stood at 79.67 on August 3, 2018. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 61.58, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 89.51. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
