Indian rupee strengthened against dollar in early deals on Friday after the minutes of the Fed's September 16-17 policy review showed that US policymakers were concerned about the slowing world economy. Further, fresh selling of dollar by exporters and banks amid firm domestic equity markets too influenced the rupee uptrend. Most Asian currencies have climbed against the US dollar, as traders bet the US Federal Reserve might not raise interest rates in calendar 2015.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 64.79, stronger by 30 paise from its previous close of 65.09 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 64.9225 and 64.7575 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 65.15 and for Euro stood at 73.32 on October 8, 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 99.7814. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
