20 Jul 2020 Evaluate

Indian rupee continued its upward momentum for the second day and ended fairly higher against US dollar on Monday, on the back of selling of the American currency by exporters. Besides, gains in domestic equity markets also provided support to the rupee. Traders were getting support with Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant’s statement that clean energy has potential to shore up the Indian economy from the current downturn. He also urged investors to exploit long-term opportunities in the sector. On the global front; euro retreated after hitting a 19-week high of $1.1467 on Monday after EU summit chairman Charles Michel said a recovery fund to revive economies hit by the COVID-19 pandemic could contain 390 billion euros in grants.

Finally, the rupee ended at 74.91, 11 paise stronger from its previous close of 75.02 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 75.03 and 74.89 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 75.10 and for Euro stood at 85.49 on July 17, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 70.06, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 94.25.
