Indian rupee, after making a good start, was trading stronger for fourth consecutive session on the back of gains of local equities, driven by sustained buying by foreign investors. Besides, hopes of additional reforms after government announced important fuel reforms to deregulate diesel prices and a hike in natural gas prices added to the positives for Indian currency. Additionally, increased selling of dollars by banks and exporters amidst weakness of American greenback overseas also supported the sentiment. On the global front, euro hovered near one week high level after report suggested that European Central Bank was considering buying corporate bonds, while recovery in risk appetite underpinned the dollar against the yen.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.23, stronger by 8 paise from its previous close of 61.31 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 61.24 and 61.16 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.29 and for Euro stood at 78.58 on October 21, 2014.
