Rupee ends marginally lower against dollar

06 May 2020 Evaluate

Indian rupee ended marginally lower against dollar on Wednesday, due to fresh demand for the American currency from banks and importers. Traders remain concerned with India's service sector activity plummeted to a historic low in April, as strict restrictions on the movement of citizens and business shutdowns led the sector to a complete standstill. The IHS Markit India Services Business Activity Index stood at 5.4 in April, an extreme decline from 49.3 in March, and indicative of the most severe contraction in services output since records began in December 2005. Cautiousness also crept in with the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) stating that the Covid-19 crisis has led to a spike in the country's unemployment rate to 27.11% for the week ended May 3, up from the under 7% level before the start of the pandemic in mid-March. On the global front, yen scaled a three-year high against the euro and a seven-week peak on the dollar on Wednesday, after a court decision challenging German participation in Europe's stimulus program and worries about a bumpy global recovery spooked investors.

Finally, the rupee ended at 75.72, 9 paise weaker from its previous close of 75.63 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 75.81 and 75.66 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 75.57 and for Euro stood at 82.46 on May 5, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 70.84, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 94.21.
