Rupee snaps 3-day depreciating streak on Tuesday

09 Apr 2019 Evaluate

Reversing its three-session fall, Indian rupee bounced back to end higher against the US currency on Tuesday, on persistent selling of the American currency by exporters. Sentiments turned optimistic with the World Bank’s latest report stating said that India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth is expected to accelerate moderately to 7.5% in the fiscal year 2019-20 (FY20), supported by continued investment strengthening, particularly private-improved export performance and resilient consumption. Besides, last hour recovery in local equity markets coupled with dollar losing sheen against some other currencies overseas mainly aided the currency’s appreciation. On the global front, dollar dipped as weak U.S. economic data highlighted concern about a slowdown in the world's largest economy.

Finally, the rupee ended at 69.30, 37 paise stronger from its previous close of 69.67 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 69.73 and 69.21 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 69.53 and for Euro stood at 78.31 on April 9, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 62.45, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 90.95.
