Indian rupee, after making flat to positive start, was trading in a tight range in afternoon deals on Wednesday. Nevertheless, the sentiment remained largely positive on the back of record high local equities and sustained selling of the US currency by exporters and banks. However, ugly macro-economic data did eat into the gains of local currency. On the macro-front, growth in India’s dominant service industry stalled last month as new orders came in at a weaker pace, with HSBC Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), compiled by Markit, falling to watershed’ 50’ mark in October from September’s 51.6, which is the break-even point between growth and contraction. On the global front,dollar nursed modest losses on Wednesday as investors took some profits on a four-session rally that swept the greenback to multi-year highs, while the euro was helped by report of a rift at the European Central Bank over its easing strategy.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.38, little changed from its previous close of 61.40 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 61.39 and 61.34 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.41 and for Euro stood at 76.66 on November 03, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 54.48, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 98.0624. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
