Indian rupee ended stronger against dollar on Thursday due to persistent selling of American currency by banks and exporters. The rupee extended its upward march for the fifth consecutive day, its longest winning streak since December. Meanwhile heavy gains in the equity market following the Union Budget also bolstered sentiment of Indian currency. Further, the sentiments remained upbeat after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected a robust growth rate of 7.3% for the country this fiscal, picking up to 7.5% next year. On the global front, euro slipped on Thursday after the release of downbeat euro-area composite manufacturing and services that added to speculations the ECB would boost its stimulus next week.
Finally, the rupee ended at 67.33, 21 paise stronger from its previous close of 67.54 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 67.45 and 67.27 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 67.37 and for Euro stood at 73.16 on March 03, 2016. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 59.05, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 94.8960. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
