Indian rupee ended significantly higher against dollar on Thursday, extending its previous session’s gains, after the greenback eased against its global peers following robust US data and stimulus hopes. Besides, healthy growth in the domestic equity markets added to the rupee gains. Sentiments remained positive, as India's manufacturing sector activity improved for the second straight month in September and touched an over eight-and-a-half-year high supported by accelerated increases in new orders and production, even as firms reduced staff numbers. The headline seasonally adjusted IHS Markit India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) increased from 52.0 in August to 56.8 in September -- highest since January 2012. On the global front; Sterling fell against the dollar and the euro on Thursday after a report that Britain and the European Union were still far apart on the key issue of state aid in Brexit trade talks.
Finally, the rupee ended at 73.13, 63 paise stronger from its previous close of 73.76 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 73.60 and 73.07 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 73.79 and for Euro stood 86.56 on September 30, 2020. While the reference rate for the Yen stood at 69.91, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 94.73.
