Indian rupee ended marginally weak against the US dollar on Tuesday, on increased demand for the greenback from importers and banks. Sentiments remained fragile with the Chairman of 15th Finance Commission N K Singh’s statement that India will see a sharp V-shaped recovery in the third and fourth quarter of the current fiscal (FY21), while he said Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in FY21 would ultimately be in negative territory as the coronavirus lockdown led to serious demand and supply dislocations. However, gains in domestic equity markets provided some support to the rupee, keeping the downside in check. On the global front; dollar bounced off a two-year low on Tuesday as selling pressure faded ahead of a Federal Reserve meeting and as political wrangling over the next U.S. fiscal rescue package moved closer to a conclusion.
Finally, the rupee ended at 74.84, 1 paise weaker from its previous close of 74.83 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 74.90 and 74.71 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 74.76 and for Euro stood at 87.52 on July 27, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 70.79, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 95.89.
