Indian rupee is treading water on Wednesday as month-end dollar demand from oil importers has counterbalanced positive local shares. Oil is India's largest import item and oil refiners, who step up dollar purchases towards the month end to meet payment requirements, are the biggest buyers in the local market. Although in the early deals, Indian currency recuperated on expectations for continued foreign fund inflows after the central bank signaled a shift in its policy to support growth. However, strength of American greenback spooked the sentiment of the Indian currency.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading unchanged from its previous close at 50.04. It has touched a high and a low of 50.09 and 49.99 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 49.9673 and for Euro it stood at 65.0887 on January 24, 2012. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 64.90 the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 77.7441. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
