Rupee consolidates in early deals; IIP, CPI data eyed

11 Jul 2014 Evaluate

Indian rupee, after witnessing biggest single day decline in nearly a month in previous session, was consolidating on Friday in absence of any positive triggers, with market keenly waiting for May IIP data and June CPI data, to be released later in the evening. Street widely expects industrial output (IIP) to expand by 3.8% annually, up for the second straight month after posting a 3.4% rise in April - it’s first since January, while Consumer price inflation is expected to have eased to 7.95% last month, down from May's 8.28%. On the global front, yen was poised to end the week higher on Friday, having jumped to a five-month peak against the euro overnight as banking woes in Portugal drove global equities lower and lifted demand for the safe-haven currency.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 60.19, little changed from its previous close of 60.17 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 60.25 and 60.11 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 59.87 and for Euro stood at 81.69 on July 10, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 59.00, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 102.5898. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
