Continuing previous session drubbing, rupee ended lower against greenback on Friday. Sentiments were dented as private report stated that the stringent mobility curbs and lockdowns put across key Indian cities will dent the economic momentum and will result in an economic loss of Rs 1.5 trillion. Total loss is estimated at Rs 1.5 trillion, of which Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan account for 80 per cent. Maharashtra alone accounts for 54 per cent. However, downfall remained capped as Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the industry is in recovery mode and several Budget proposals are on course, including disinvestment, despite a fresh wave of coronavirus infections and local lockdowns. On the global front; pound rebounded on Friday from a sharp fall on Thursday after strong retail sales data which showed Britain's economy might already be recovering from its worst annual contraction in 300 years.
Finally, the rupee ended 75.01, weaker by 7 paise from its previous close of 74.94 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 75.07 and 74.75 respectively.
