05 Mar 2012 Evaluate

Indian rupee recuperated from six week low level, to emerge strong on Monday.  Speculated selling of dollars by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) granted relief to the local unit. Indian currency had in the noon deals dipped to six week low level weighed by persistent dollar demand from importers for oil payments as well as defence equipment purchases amidst weak local share. However, RBI’s intervention provided support. On the global front, euro hit two-week lows and growth-linked currencies fell on Monday, undermined by concerns over Greece's progress on completing a debt restructuring deal and poor euro zone data.

Finally the rupee ended at 49.85, stronger by 5 paise from its previous close of 49.50 on Friday. It has touched a high and a low of 49.95 and 49.70 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 49.7958 and for Euro it stood at Rs 65.7392 on March 5, 2012. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 61.27 the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 78.7919. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
