Indian rupee was trading strong on Monday tailing splendid gains of local equities after news that Russia was ending military drills near the Ukrainian border and signs of truce in Gaza, allaying geopolitical concerns, sharpened risk appetite for emerging markets’ assets, including equities and currencies. However, dollar demand from oil importers to some extent restricted further uptrend of Indian currency. On the global front, yen eased versus the dollar on Monday, having backed off from peaks hit late last week as a slight relaxation in geopolitical tensions dampened demand for the safe-haven Japanese currency.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.10, stronger by 6 paise from its previous close of 61.16 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 61.13 and 61.02 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.55 and for Euro stood at 82.41 on August 08, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 60.64, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 103.5028. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
