Rupee snaps five consecutive sessions’ losing streak on Friday

08 May 2015 Evaluate

Indian rupee, snapping five consecutive sessions’ losing streak was trading stronger against dollar on Friday tracking the gains of local equities, while weakness of American currency against the basket of other major currencies also aided the otherwise somber sentiment. Additionally, dollar sales by exporters and state run banks added to the optimistic milieu. Sentiments were also bolstered after Fitch, Moody's say India ratings will not hit by foreign outflows, while government setting up a panel for suggesting ways to resolve MAT dispute as well as some other tax issues also brought solace to domestic markets. On the global front, most major currencies stuck to recent ranges ahead of U.S. jobs report later on Friday, but sterling seized the spotlight and rallied to its highest in just over a week on expectations that British Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservatives will stay in office.

Finally the rupee ended at 64.00, stronger by 24 paise from its previous close of 64.24 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 64.17 and 63.93 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 63.88 and for Euro stood at 72.51 on May 7, 2015. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 53.47, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 97.2062. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
