Rupee gains marginally on increased selling of US currency by banks and exporters

13 Jul 2016 Evaluate

Indian rupee marginally strengthened against the dollar on Wednesday on increased selling of the US currency by banks and exporters amid positive economic data. The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) grew 1.2 percent in May as against a contraction of 1.3 percent in April. It had expanded by 2.5 per cent in May 2015. Meanwhile, Retail inflation ticked up 5.77 percent in June as against 5.76 per cent in May. Further, a higher opening in the domestic equities, continued foreign capital inflows, and weakness in the dollar against other currencies overseas supported the rupee. Gains in the global equity and currencies markets also helped the home currency. On the global front, the yen clawed back some of this week's losses in Asian trading on Wednesday, after it sank to 2-1/2-week lows reached this week as the prospects for more economic stimulus in Japan helped bolster risk sentiment.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 67.17, tad stronger from its previous close of 67.18 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 67.1850 and 67.11 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 67.14 and for Euro stood at 74.44 on July 12, 2016.
