Indian rupee ended marginally higher on Monday on selling of dollars by banks and exporters. Besides, positive trend in equity market too supported the rupee. However, gains were capped as investors remained cautious with monthly survey showing that the Indian manufacturing sector growth moderated in June, largely owing to softer increase in new work intakes, which in turn translated into slower rises in output and employment. The IHS Markit India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) was at 52.1 in June, down from May's three-month high of 52.7, indicating a slight setback in the Indian manufacturing sector. On the global front, dollar rose to one-week highs against a currency basket on Monday as a trade truce between the U.S. and China dampened demand for safe haven currencies, such as the yen and the Swiss franc.
Finally, the rupee ended at 68.94, 8 paise stronger from its previous close of 69.03 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 69.09 and 68.82 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 68.91 and for Euro stood at 78.35 on June 28, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 63.97, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 87.34.
