The Indian rupee extended gains on Tuesday on consistent dollar inflows and positive local shares. Extra demand from companies after the U.S. market holiday also added some gains to the local currency. Dollar inflows have been encouraged by the government's moves to increase the amount of debt that foreign investors can buy as well by as the removal of a ceiling on interest rates paid on foreign currency accounts offered to non-resident Indians. The position for the rupee is diverse as the likely growth boosting measures from policymakers are seen supporting equities and the currency, but weak macroeconomic fundamentals are seen weighing.
The partially convertible rupee is currently trading at 51.07, stronger by 33 paise from its previous close of 51.40 on Monday. It has touched a high and a low of 51.18 and 50.90 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 51.6545 and for Euro it stood at 65.3173 on January 16, 2012. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 67.24 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 79.0985. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
