Indian rupee ended stronger against dollar for the fourth straight day on Monday, on increased selling of the US currency by exporters and banks. Investors got support with Former Union minister Suresh Prabhu’s statement that startups are going to play a vital role in making India a $5 trillion economy. He also said ‘so, when we talk about $5 trillion economy, it will be largely from the startups. It is inevitably bound to happen all over the world, thankfully our prime minister realised it and had that vision to understand the changing economic scenario of the Indian economy.’ Dollar losing sheen against some other currencies overseas also supported the forex sentiment. However, gains remain capped as anxiety remained among the traders with IHS Markit in its latest report stating that India's real GDP growth in 2019-20 fiscal is expected to be slightly below 5% as the impact of stimulus measures will take time to filter through to the economy. On the global front, British pound hit 31-month highs against the euro on Monday and hit seven-month highs against the U.S. dollar amid growing confidence about a Conservative Party victory in Thursday’s U.K. elections, which would end political paralysis on Brexit.
Finally, the rupee ended at 71.04, 15 paise stronger from its previous close of 71.20 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 71.27 and 71.02 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 71.31 and for Euro stood at 79.19 on December 06, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 65.61, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 93.87.
