Rupee appreciates significantly tailing gains in domestic equities

26 Dec 2011 Evaluate

Indian rupee after taking a breather recovered to quite an extent supported by gains posted by the euro and other currencies against the American dollar overseas and positive domestic equities, but trading was subdued due to holidays in overseas markets and on concern ahead of account books closure on December 31. However, there is a possibility that if domestic oil companies were forced to step up dollar buying in a thin market to honor their month-end payments, the rupee could slip towards the 53-mark.

Finally the rupee ended at 52.72, stronger by 24 paise from its previous close of 52.96 on Friday. It has touched a high and a low of 52.90 and 52.68 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 52.82 and for Euro it stood at 68.93 on December 26, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 67.75 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 82.4739. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
