Indian rupee rebounded from 13 month low on Thursday tracking gains of local equity markets after the U.S. Federal Reserve said it would take a 'patient' approach in deciding when to raise interest rates, quelling fears of outflows from emerging markets’ asset. The currency also drew some solace after Russia's rouble stabilized after dramatic falls this week, reducing some of the fears of financial contagion to emerging markets. On the global front, dollar took the upper hand on Thursday after the Federal Reserve signalled it was on track to raise interest rates next year, altering a pledge to keep them near zero for a 'considerable time' in a show of confidence in the U.S. economy.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 63.31, stronger by 31 paise from its previous close of 63.62 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 63.38 and 63.19 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 63.58 and for Euro stood at 79.39 on December 17, 2014.
