Rupee ended higher against dollar on Friday owing to dollar sale by exporters and banks. Sentiments remained optimistic as India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) stated that swelling of India's foreign exchange reserves in combination with benign oil prices and tepid imports have led to a current account surplus and helped the Indian rupee to remain broadly stable since mid-March. However, upside remain capped with private report stating that the Reserve Bank of India is likely to leave repo rate unchanged in the upcoming policy review meeting and the Monetary Policy Committee may look for 'unconventional policy measures' to ensure financial stability. On the global front, dollar extended its dramatic fall on Friday, as investors fretted that a rebound in the U.S. economy would be derailed by the struggle to stem the coronavirus epidemic.
Finally, the rupee ended at 74.81, 3 paise stronger from its previous close of 74.84 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 74.90 and 74.68 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 74.84 and for Euro stood at 87.96 on July 30, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 71.12, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 96.92.
