Rupee in Monday's trade (August 3, 2020) opens at 74.88 versus previous day's close of 74.81 per US dollar. And hits an early low of 74.92 per US dollar.
The rupee off late has been underperforming its emerging market peers and is relatively weaker even as dollar index is at 2-year low on sluggish US economic outlook. This is because of RBI's intervention which is putting a cap of rupee's upside.
Yield on 10-year benchmark government bonds stood at 5.838%.
