Indian rupee, after resuming trade from a long break on stronger note, continues to hold firmly against dollar on Monday on the back of incremental dollar selling by banks and exporters in view of weakness of American currency overseas. Additionally, gains on other asian currency also aided the sentiment. However, the currency pared some gains after growth in India's pivotal services industry lost some momentum in March as input prices rose at the fastest pace in nearly a year with HSBC Services Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) easing to 53.0 in March from February's eight-month high of 53.9. On the global front, dollar weakend across the board on Monday after much weaker than expected US jobs data persuaded many in the market that Federal Reserve is likely to wait until the second half of 2015 before raising interest rates.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 62.18, stronger by 31 paise from its previous close of 62.49 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 62.21 and 62.10 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 62.59 and for Euro stood at 67.51 on March 31, 2015. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 52.11, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 92.4591. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
