Indian rupee ended stronger against dollar on Monday, due to increased selling of the American currency by exporters and banks. Local investors cheered with Chief economic advisor to the Union finance minister Krishnamurthy Subramanian confidence over India’s economy swelling to a $5-trillion giant by 2025. He said this target is definitely achievable, backing his confidence with the theory of motivation which states that if a goal is stretched by just 10-15 per cent on the higher side that creates a sweet spot and that private investment and behavioral economics will drive the economy forward. Besides, market participants are also looking forward to the US and China trade talks, which can impact rupee movement. The US and Chinese officials are restarting negotiations in an effort to resolve the year-long trade dispute. On the global front, dollar held near a two-month high on Monday ahead of what is expected to be the first U.S. interest rate cut since the financial crisis, while Britain’s rising Brexit risks slugged the pound to a fresh 28-month low.
Finally, the rupee ended at 68.75, 14 paise stronger from its previous close of 68.89 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 68.95 and 68.73 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 69.06 and for Euro stood at 76.94 on July 26, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 63.58, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 85.84.
