Indian rupee appreciated for the second consecutive session against dollar on Thursday on increased selling of the American currency by exporters and banks. Some support came with Prime Minister Narendra Modi making a fresh pitch for passage of GST and other legislations in the Rajya Sabha, considering the 'conducive atmosphere' that has been prevailing in Parliament this session with cooperation from the opposition. Nevertheless, a weak trade in domestic equities and dollar’s strength against other currencies overseas capped the rupee gains. Meanwhile investors maintained a cautious approach ahead of Index of Industrial Production (IIP) data for January scheduled to be released on March 11, 2016. On the global front, euro fell against the dollar on Thursday, anticipating further policy easing by the European Central Bank.
Finally, the rupee ended at 67.07, 14 paise stronger from its previous close of 67.21 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 67.27 and 66.98 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 67.05 and for Euro stood at 73.62 on March 10, 2016. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 58.99, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 95.2258. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
