Indian rupee snapping its nine days losing streak surged on Wednesday, on fresh selling of the American currency by exporters and banks amid strong equities. The global setup remained conducive from the very beginning and after the positive trade in other global equity markets the local equity markets too showed a strong performance, boosting the domestic currency to post maximum one day gains since 17 March. The other regional currencies too strengthened against the US dollar despite the robust release of new home sales data. On the global front, the US dollar held steady at two-month highs against the other major currencies on hopes of June rate hike in the US after new home sales soared to the highest level since the start of 2008 in April.
Finally, the rupee ended at 67.33, 43 paise stronger from its previous close at 67.76 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 67.60 and 67.31 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 67.44 and for Euro stood at 75.20 on May 25, 2016. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 61.32, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 98.5599. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
