Rupee erases some of the early gains; still holds up against dollar

19 Sep 2014 Evaluate

Indian rupee, after making a strong start and giving up some of its strength, continues to hold up against dollar on Friday on continued selling of the American currency by exporters and also hopes of continued foreign fund inflows. Stock exchange data suggests that Overseas investors bought index futures worth $ 106.22 million on Thursday.

Besides, somewhat positive local equities have also supported Indian currency’s up-move, however dollar’s rise against other currencies overseas limited its uptrend. Additionally, reports suggest $147 million payment to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) due on September 26 also had some pressure on the local currency. On the global front, Sterling was holding strong against dollar and euro, rallying on relief that Scottish voters rejected independence in a referendum, averting a break-up of the United Kingdom. 

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 60.81, stronger by 4 paise from its previous close of 60.85 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 60.83 and 60.73 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.05 and for Euro stood at 78.57 on September 18, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 56.13, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 99.5515. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
