07 Oct 2014 Evaluate

Indian rupee appreciated to more than a week high level on Tuesday on the back of bunched up dollar inflows following long weekend, however colossal losses of local equities limited further uptrend of Indian currency. Financial markets were closed from Thursday to Monday for local holidays. Meanwhile, sentiments were also bolstered after growth in services activity picked up pace in September as order books filled up at a faster rate, with HSBC Services Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), compiled by Markit, reversing a slowdown seen in the previous two months and rising to 51.6 in September from 50.6 in August. On the global front, dollar edged higher on Tuesday, showing resilience in the wake of the previous day's slide, which was seen as a temporary setback for dollar bulls.

Finally, the rupee ended at 61.42, stronger by 19 paise from its previous close of 61.61 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 61.48 and 61.30 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.35 and for Euro stood at 77.46 on October 07, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 56.50, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 98.7090. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
