Indian rupee, after making a strong start, recouped some ground and was trading strong on Tuesday tailing gains of other Asian currencies against dollar amidst hopes of ECB expanding liquidity. Besides, selling of the US currency by exporters, positive opening of local domestic markets also aided the uptrend of local unit. However, further gains of local unit were unlikely on account of subdued local equities, which were now trading into negative territory. On the global front, euro plumbed a one-year trough against the dollar on Tuesday as prospects for further easing by the European Central Bank weighed on the currency along with weak eurozone data and the resignation of the French government.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 60.48, stronger by 8 paise from its previous close of 60.56 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 60.55 and 60.47 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 60.42 and for Euro stood at 79.74 on August 25, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 58.01, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 100.1155. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
