Indian rupee, after depreciating below weekly low level in intra-day trade, erased all its losses and ended strong on Friday due to lack of large dollar demand, while foreign banks selling the greenback in late trades also helped the rupee notch up some gains. The currency, however, traded weak for most part of the session due to negative local equities and caution ahead of the U.S. monthly jobs data and country’s five-week general elections, scheduled to kick off on Monday. On the global front, dollar traded at a five-week high against a basket of currencies on Friday, as investors positioned themselves for robust U.S. non-farm payrolls data later in the day.
Finally, the rupee ended at 60.10, stronger by 7 paise from its previous close of 60.17 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 60.40 and 60.09 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 60.32 and for Euro stood at 82.65 on April 04, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 58.10, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 100.0363. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
