Indian rupee was trading little changed on Thursday as gains on account of positive local equities were offset by the losses due to weakness in other Asian currencies. Nevertheless, the currency managed to show bit of strength after Moody’s Investors Service, expressing optimism in the efforts of the new government and the Reserve Bank of India, has raised the rating outlook of the country to positive. However, dollar demand by banks and exporters in view of American greenback’s strength overseas limited further gains. On the global front, dollar touched a one week high on Thursday, having enjoyed another leg up after two influential Federal Reserve officials kept alive expectations for a hike in interest rates sometime this year.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 62.23, tad stronger from its previous close of 62.25 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 62.29 and 62.15 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 62.32 and for Euro stood at 67.59 on April 08, 2015. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 51.98, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 92.5281. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
