Indian rupee pared early losses and was trading firm on Thursday amid gain in stock markets. US currency’s weakness in the overseas markets also added some strength to the local currency but the dollar demand from oil importers in India is likely to limit the rupee gains. There are some dollar flows in the market, with both state-run and foreign banks on a selling spree. The Reserve Bank of India is aiming stability of the rupee, but it requires more fundamental shifts in policies, such as lifting potential growth through more investments and faster productivity growth. Indian equity markets rose about half a percent in early trade on Thursday.
The partially convertible rupee is currently trading at 52.83, stronger by 15 paise from its previous close of 52.98 on Wednesday. It has touched a high and a low of 53.83 and 52.74 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 53.14 and for Euro it stood at 69.25 on January 4, 2012. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 69.31 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 83.0844. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
