Indian rupee marginally strengthened against the US dollar on Monday, as domestic equities started on a positive note. Foreign fund inflows too supported the rupee. On the economy front, the RBI board is to meet on August 14 to decide on the surplus transfer to the government. On the global front, the US July payroll data on Friday was better than expected but a finer look suggests that most of the jobs added have been low paying and in the services sector. Job growth in the Manufacturing sector was tepid. Back on domestic front, factors like weak Asian currencies and rising COVID-19 cases limited the upside of the local unit. Meanwhile, the number of cases around the world linked to COVID-19 has crossed 1.98 crore; and in India, the number of infections touched 22,15,074.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 74.92, stronger by 1 paise from its previous close of 74.93 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 74.9650 and 74.8525 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 74.95 and for Euro stood at 88.78 on August 07, 2020.
