After two days of gains, Indian rupee tumbled against dollar on Thursday, as a stronger dollar in the overseas market and a muted trend in domestic equities weighed on investor sentiments. Traders were cautious, amid reports that the government collected Rs 1.50 lakh crore as Goods and Services Tax (GST) in February. The GST collections for February down from Rs 1.58 lakh crore in January, which were the second-highest monthly collection ever under the indirect tax regime which was introduced in July 2017. On the global front, euro fell against the dollar on Thursday after data showed inflation in the euro zone was not as high as investors had feared based on national readings in recent days.
Finally, the rupee ended at 82.60 (Provisional), weaker by 11 paise from its previous close of 82.49 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 82.61 and 82.54 respectively.
