Indian rupee strengthened marginally against dollar on Thursday, tracking weak US dollar and gains in the domestic equity market. Traders took some support with FIEO President S K Saraf’s statement that the ongoing India-China border tensions may not have any immediate impact on the bilateral trade relations. However, gains remain capped as anxiety remained among traders as Fitch Ratings revised India's outlook to 'negative' from 'stable', stating that the coronavirus pandemic has significantly weakened the country's growth prospects for the year and exposed the challenges associated with a high public-debt burden. On the global front, sterling dipped against the dollar and euro on Thursday as some investors braced for a larger-than-expected increase in the Bank of England’s quantitative easing programme to combat the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Finally, the rupee ended at 76.14, 2 paise stronger from its previous close of 76.16 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 76.19 and 76.08 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 76.20 and for Euro stood at 85.97 on June 17, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 71.03, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 95.82.
