Indian rupee continuing its gaining streak, without much conviction, is trading flat from its previous close. Spain's successful attempt at selling debt and improved US corporate earnings helped risk sentiment to improve. However, surprising big cut in the repo rate on Tuesday from the Reserve Bank of India is seen as a short-term positive, investors still worried about the economic conditions of the country as Indian consumer prices rose 9.47% in the year to March, faster than the previous month's reading of 8.83%. Meanwhile the consumer price-based food inflation accelerated to 8.22% in March from 6.62% in February. These figures indicate the yawning current account gap.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 51.49, flat from its previous close of 51.49, on Tuesday. It has touched a high and a low of 51.51 and 51.37 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 51.62 and for Euro it stood at Rs 67.65 on April 17, 2012. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 64.19 the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 81.9390. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
