Rising for the third consecutive day, Indian rupee ended higher against dollar on Tuesday, on continued selling of the American currency by exporters and banks. Sentiments remained buoyant with the India Meteorological Department’s (IMD) statement that the Southwest monsoon arrived in India on June 01 with heavy rainfall over several places in Kerala, marking the commencement of the four-month long rainfall season. The rupee also derived its strength from strong gains in the local equity markets as well as dollar’s weakness against some currencies overseas. Traders overlooked report that Moody’s has downgraded the Government of India's foreign-currency and local-currency long-term issuer ratings to Baa3 from Baa2. On the global front, pound rose to a four-week high against the dollar on Monday, as a risk-on mood in global markets prompted by hopes for an economic recovery caused the safe-haven dollar to weaken.
Finally, the rupee ended at 75.36, 18 paise weaker from its previous close of 75.54 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 75.62 and 75.36 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 75.47 and for Euro stood at 84.09 on June 1, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 70.16, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 93.53.
