Rupee ends marginally higher against dollar on Monday

01 Jun 2020 Evaluate

Indian rupee has lost most of the gains but still managed to end marginally higher against dollar on Monday, on persistent selling of the American currency by exporters. Traders took some support with Commerce minister Piyush Goyal’s statement that most startups will be eligible for additional liquidity and funding under the credit and funding support announced for MSMEs under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan package. Weak American currency and strong domestic equity markets also supported the local unit.  However, gains remain capped as the ministry of Commerce and Industry in its latest data has showed that the growth of eight core infrastructure industries have plunged by a record 38.1 percent in April 2020 as compared to same period of last year, as the nationwide lockdown to contain coronavirus pandemic caused a substantial loss of production across sectors. On the global front, dollar slipped on Monday as investors looked past unrest in the United States to the global economic recovery from the coronavirus and hoped for an easing in Sino-U.S. tensions.

Finally, the rupee ended at 75.54, 8 paise stronger from its previous close of 75.62 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 75.60 and 75.29 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 75.63 and for Euro stood at 83.91 on May 29, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 70.56, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 93.31.
