Indian rupee, after getting a strong start and snapping two consecutive session’s depreciating streak, traded strong below the psychological ‘60/$ level on Monday on account of bouts of dollar selling by banks and exporters. Additionally, the currency also gained ground on speculation that an increase in US borrowing costs may be pushed back, boosted emerging market’s yield advantage over developed nation’s debt. However, negative local equities limited the further upside of the currency. On the global front, dollar was trading low against the basket of major currencies after a closely watched U.S. jobs report failed to live up to the market's lofty expectations, while the thought of the European Central Bank launching its own bond-buying stimulus kept euro bulls at bay.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 59.99, stronger by 18 paise from its previous close of 60.17 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 60.07 and 59.79 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.
