Indian rupee, recovering from a somber start, added lot of ground to end significantly stronger against dollar on large dollar sales from corporates, including some exporters. Further, firmer Asian currencies also weighed on the dollar, although investors were largely cautious ahead of the Fed's policy meeting ending on Wednesday. Besides, negative local equities also limited the further uptrend of Indian currency. On the global front, euro inched up against the dollar on Tuesday, helped by comments from European Central Bank policymakers cooling any expectations the bank will respond to low inflation by easing monetary conditions further.
Finally the rupee ended at 60.43, stronger by 21 paise from its previous close of 60.64 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 60.63 and 60.37 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 60.52 and for Euro stood at 83.91 on April 29, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 59.01, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 101.7733. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
