Indian rupee, moving in a tight range throughout the session, ended almost flat on Wednesday despite record high close of local equities on account of dollar demand by exporters and bank in view of its strength overseas. Additionally, gains were also limited on account of somber macro-economic data. 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. On the global front, dollar hit a seven-year high against the yen and a 4-1/2 year peak against a basket of currencies on Wednesday after victories for the pro-business Republicans in U.S. mid-term elections.
Finally the rupee ended at 61.42, little changed from its previous close of 61.40 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 61.49 and 61.34 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.38 and for Euro stood at 76.98 on November 05, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 57.36, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 98.0043. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
