Indian rupee, after making strong start, appreciated substantially on Tuesday on the back of gains of other Asian currencies against dollar amidst prospects of further easing by European Central Bank (ECB). Besides, selling of the US currency by exporters and recovery of local equities by close of trade also aided the sentiment. Continuous foreign inflows in both equity and debt markets also added to positive environment. As per exchange data, FIIs invested a net of Rs 148.22 crore and Rs 634.47 crore in equity and debt markets respectively on Tuesday. On the global front, dollar took a breather on Tuesday after recent gains, but that offered little solace to a struggling euro that was pinned down near 19-month lows against the Swiss franc on expectations of a soft inflation reading and more monetary easing.
Finally the rupee ended at 60.44, stronger by 12 paise from its previous close of 60.56 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 60.55 and 60.43 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 60.49 and for Euro stood at 79.91 on August 26, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 58.24, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 100.3266. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
