Indian rupee ended flat near its four week high level on Wednesday as optimism over continued foreign investments in domestic markets was counterbalanced by caution ahead of the release of Q1FY15 GDP and Current Account Deficit (CAD) later this week. Street widely expects Asia's third largest economy to likely grow by 5.3% in the first quarter of this fiscal year (April-March), up from 4.6 percent in January-March, which would be the fastest since the quarter that ended in March 2012. However, positive close of local equities limited any kind of slide of the Indian currency. On the global front, euro edged off its lowest point in almost a year on Wednesday as Germany's finance minister played down speculation over more European Central Bank monetary policy easing in the coming months.
Finally the rupee ended at 60.45, almost unchanged from its previous close of 60.44 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 60.50 and 60.39 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 60.46 and for Euro stood at 79.65 on August 27, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 58.17, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 100.1468. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
