Snapping two days depreciating streak, Indian rupee ended marginally higher against dollar on Friday, as bankers and exporters took to selling of American currency. Traders took note of Corporate Affairs Secretary Injeti Srinivas’ statement that the corporate affairs ministry maintained a fairly reliable database that is not a black box. He emphasized that it is up to statistical authorities to decide on which data is representative for GDP calculation. However, most of the gains were trimmed as anxiety remained among the traders ahead of index of industrial production (IIP) data for March scheduled to be released today. On the global front, dollar was steady against the safe-haven Japanese yen on Friday, taking in stride the hike in U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods that went into effect and awaiting resumption of talks between top officials of the world's two largest economies.
Finally, the rupee ended at 69.92, 2 paise stronger from its previous close of 69.94 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 70.07 and 69.76 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 69.92 and for Euro stood at 78.48 on May 10, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 63.72, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 90.92.
