Rupee ends stable on Friday

15 Jul 2011 Evaluate

Indian Rupee paring losses incurred in the afternoon deals emerged stable on Friday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S Bernanke said that the US central bank was prepared to buy more government bonds, thereby sparking the worries that the supply of dollars would increase. However, local equities failed to entice any strength into the domestic unit as the bourses snapping two consecutive sessions of gains ended in red on Friday. Meanwhile, the dollar traded lower against the basket of other major currencies post the Standard & Poor's Ratings Services put US sovereign ratings on formal credit watch and warned of at least a 50-50 chance for a downgrade.

Finally the Rupee ended at 44.51, almost unchanged from its previous close of 44.50 on Thursday. It touched a high and low of 44.58 and 44.47 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at 44.52 and for Euro it stood at 62. 97 on July 15, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 56.24 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 71.9098. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
