Tumbling for second straight session; Indian rupee ended tad lower against dollar on Tuesday, on account of dollar demand from importers and banks. Traders remained cautious ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's three-day monetary policy meeting that gets underway today. Sentiments were pessimistic as Asian Development Bank (ADB) stated that global remittances will fall by 108.6 billion dollars if the Covid-19 economic impact persists throughout the year. This is equivalent to 18.3 per cent decline from what would have been expected without the impact of Covid-19. However, strong gains in domestic equity markets provided some support to the rupee, keeping the downside in check. On the global front, dollar faltered on Tuesday as political wrangling over a U.S. relief plan and the gloomy economic outlook kept investors shy of the currency.
Finally, the rupee ended at 75.04, 3 paise weaker from its previous close of 75.01 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 75.17 and 74.85 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 74.97 and for Euro stood at 88.12 on August 03, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 70.78, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 97.97.
