Indian rupee ended lower against the US dollar on Tuesday, on increased demand for the greenback from importers and banks. Investors stayed cautious ahead of the release of industrial and manufacturing production data for April as well as the first quarter GDP growth numbers, scheduled later this week. Besides, waning foreign fund inflow and subdued domestic equity market weighed on local unit. Traders overlooked NITI Aayog member Arvind Virmani’s statement that India is set to become the fourth largest economy in the world by overtaking Japan by the end of 2025. On the global front, the dollar rallied on Tuesday as investors took comfort from U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to delay higher tariffs on the European Union, while the yen came under pressure from a sharp fall in Japan's long-dated bond yields.
Finally, the rupee ended at 85.40 (Provisional), depreciated by 30 paise from its previous close of 85.10 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 85.45 and 85.11 respectively.
