Indian rupee ended marginally higher against dollar on Monday, as bankers and exporters took to selling of American currency. Traders took some support with CII’s statement that India’s economy is expected to rebound in 2020 on the back of measures taken by the government and the RBI coupled with easing of global trade tensions. Some support also came with FIEO stating that the country's exports are expected to touch $330-340 billion during the ongoing fiscal on account of uncertain global situation and rising protectionism. During April-November, 2019-20, exports dipped by about 2 per cent to $212 billion. Dollar losing sheen against some other currencies overseas also supported the forex sentiment. However, lackluster trade in the equity markets capped the rupee’s gain. On the global front, euro hit a 4-1/2-month high on Monday as optimism over US-China trade relations and the global growth outlook knocked demand for dollars.
Finally, the rupee ended at 71.32, 3 paise stronger from its previous close of 71.35 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 71.39 and 71.30 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 71.22 and for Euro stood at 79.18 on December 27, 2019. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 65.04, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 92.55.
