Indian rupee strengthened against the dollar in early deals on Wednesday after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) raised foreign investors’ government bond investment limit. RBI on Tuesday formally announced denominating foreign investors’ limit in government debts in rupee terms and said such investments will be capped at a maximum of 20% of the outstanding of any individual security. Besides, fresh selling of the US currency by exporters amid sustained foreign fund inflows and a higher opening in the domestic equity market also supported the rupee. Furthermore, weakness in dollar against other major global currencies as the International Monetary Fund trimmed its global economic growth forecast and the US trade deficit widened, too helped rupee movement. On the global front, the yen nursed losses against most of its peers early on Wednesday and is likely to stay on the defensive in case the Bank of Japan surprises by injecting fresh stimulus after its policy review later in the day.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 65.24, stronger by 17 paise from its previous close of 65.41 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 65.3650 and 65.2175 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 65.39 and for Euro stood at 73.19 on October 6, 2015. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 54.41 the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 99.0540. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
