Rupee continues to trade strongly after Union Cabinet expansion

10 Nov 2014 Evaluate

Indian rupee, after making a good start, continued to trade strongly in early afternoon deals on Monday on hopes of faster economic growth after Prime Minister Modi brought in 21 new faces to the cabinet, which would lead to faster decision-making and hence boost economic growth. Additionally, increased selling of the US currency by exporters and banks amidst sustained foreign capital inflows also aided the sentiment. On the global front, dollar edged lower in Asia on Monday as US Treasury yields sagged after Friday's US jobs data fell short of expectations and prompted some investors to take profits on extremely long dollar positions.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.45, stronger by 18 paise from its previous close of 61.63 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 61.49 and 61.44 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.52 and for Euro stood at 76.1562 on November 07, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 53.31, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 97.3931. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
