Indian rupee ended higher against dollar on Monday, on continued selling of the American currency by exporters and banks. Sentiments remained buoyant as Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) data showed that India's forex reserves rose substantially by $5.942 billion to touch a life-time high of $507.644 billion in the week to June 12, helped by a significant jump in the foreign currency assets (FCA). The rupee also derived its strength from strong gains in the local equity markets as well as dollar’s weakness against some currencies overseas. On the global front, dollar fell in overnight trading on Monday, edging away from last week’s two-and-a-half-week highs, while the riskier New Zealand and Australian dollars gained as fears of a second wave of COVID-19 did little to dampen investors’ risk appetite.
Finally, the rupee ended at 76.03, 17 paise stronger from its previous close of 76.20 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 76.16 and 75.98 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 76.21 and for Euro stood at 85.41 on June 19, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 71.27, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 94.79.
