Indian rupee, erasing nearly all its early gains, ended flat on Friday on the back of consolidation of local equities, while strength of dollar index after a fall in US jobless claims data also weighed on the sentiment. The local unit started on a good note on continued selling of the American currency by exporters, while hopes of continued foreign fund inflows also aided the up-move. However, reversal of trend of local equities took away all the gains from the local unit. On the global front, sterling gained against the euro and the dollar on Friday after Scottish voters rejected independence ran out of steam as investors focused on the UK economy and new constitutional problems for Britain.
Finally the rupee ended at 60.83, little changed from its previous close of 60.85 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 60.89 and 60.73 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 60.80 and for Euro stood at 78.46 on September 19, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 55.73, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 100.0615. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
