Indian rupee made a positive start and was trading slightly higher on Friday, tracking strong Asian currencies as U.S. dollar was seen tumbling against the basket of major currencies soon after the GDP numbers were released for U.S., which showed sub-par growth for the first quarter. Moreover, positive local equities and initial selling of the American currency by banks too supported the up-move. However, up-side remained capped on the back of growing tensions in Iraq. Data showing foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) sold shares worth a net Rs 601.89 crore on Thursday, too were limiting the gains.
The partially convertible currency was trading tad higher than its Thursday’s close of 60.14. The currency touched a high and low of 60.13 and 60.10 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 60.16 and for Euro stood at 82.04 on June 26, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 59.12, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 102.2329. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
