Indian rupee after making a flattish to negative start continued to trade almost unchanged on Friday, though with bit of positive bias on account of sustained selling of dollar by banks and exporters in view of dollar’s weakness overseas. However, weakness of local equities continued to weigh on the sentiment of Indian currency. On the global front, dollar eased in Asian trade on Friday but remained well above this week’s low plumbed after the Federal Reserve’s dovish stance on interest rates sent the greenback tumbling.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 62.49, little changed from its previous close of 62.51 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 62.58 and 62.47 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 62.42 and for Euro stood at 67.28 on March 19, 2015. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 51.79, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 92.9945. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
