Indian rupee was trading almost flat on Monday on account of subdued trend of local equities and on appreciation of US currency overseas. Additionally, sentiment also took a hit after Indian manufacturing activity expanded at its slowest pace in five months in February as a slowdown in new orders dragged on overall output. The HSBC Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index, compiled by Markit, fell for the second consecutive month, to 51.2 in February from 52.9 in January. On the global front, dollar hit an 11 year high against a basket of major currencies on Monday, with greenback gaining a broad lift after an interest rate in China dented the Chinese yuan and emerging Asian currencies.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.84, hardly changed from its previous close of 61.83 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 61.92 and 61.80 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.79 and for Euro stood at 69.28 on February 27, 2015. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 51.85, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 95.4235. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
