Snapping previous day’s gaining streak, Indian rupee ended weaker against dollar on Thursday with fresh dollar demand by banks and importers. Besides, dollar gains against other currencies overseas too hit the rupee sentiment. Investors were worried as India’s merchandise exports declined by 12.41% to $21.91 billion in June 2020 as compared to same period of last year, mainly due to drop in shipments of petroleum, textiles, engineering goods, and gems and jewellery items. However, gains in domestic equity markets provided some support to the rupee, keeping the downside in check. On the global front; dollar found support on Thursday as simmering Sino-U.S. tensions and weak Chinese consumption data knocked investors’ faith in a fairly swift global economic recovery from the coronavirus crisis.
Finally, the rupee ended at 75.18, 3 paise weaker from its previous close of 75.15 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 75.29 and 75.15 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 75.31 and for Euro stood at 85.92 on July 15, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 70.24, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 94.84.
