Rupee Strengthens on Friday along with equities

05 Aug 2016 Evaluate

Indian rupee made stronger closing against dollar on Friday due to increased selling of American currency by banks and exporters. Sentiments got some support after Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said that the government is working on a roadmap to roll out GST from April 1, 2017.  According to Moody’s investors Service, GST implementation will be positive for the country’s economic growth without any significant impact on inflation. Besides, strong gains in the domestic equity market and dollar weakness against other currencies overseas also aided to the rupee sentiments. However, Investors remained cautious ahead of the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) bi-monthly policy on August 9, 2016. On the global front, dollar edged down as traders awaited a monthly U.S. labour market report for clues on whether the world's biggest economy will bounce back after a lackluster second quarter.

Finally, the rupee ended at 66.78, 14 paise stronger from its previous close at 66.92 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 66.89 and 66.74 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 66.81and for Euro stood at 74.45 on August 5, 2016. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 66.13, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 87.75.The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
