Indian rupee ended marginally higher against dollar on Friday, as bankers and exporters took to selling of American currency. Sentiments were positive with Former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s statement that Indian economic growth graph was on an upward trajectory after past policy uncertainties have been replaced by certainties. However, gains remain capped as cautiousness remained in markets after Moody's said there are risks of India missing 3.3 per cent fiscal deficit target for the current financial year if tax revenue falls short of projection. The Budget 2019-20 lowered fiscal deficit projection for the current financial year to 3.3 per cent from 3.4 per cent targeted in the Interim Budget 2019-20 in February. On the global front, the dollar was steady on Friday as traders held off on making big bets ahead of the closely-watched US non-farm jobs report that could influence the course of near-term Federal Reserve policy.
Finally, the rupee ended at 68.42, 8 paise stronger from its previous close of 68.50 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 68.77 and 68.40 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 68.85 and for Euro stood at 77.68 on July 04, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 63.86, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 86.57.
