Rupee strengthens on fresh selling of American currency by exporters

03 Nov 2016 Evaluate

Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Thursday on fresh selling of the American currency by exporters. Besides, the dollar’s weakness against some currencies overseas supported the rupee but early losses in the domestic equity market capped some gains. On the global front, the dollar's losses deepened on Thursday as positioning for next week's US presidential election overshadowed the Federal Reserve's latest review, where policymakers signaled they were on track to hike rates next month.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 66.70, stronger by 2 paise from its previous close of 66.72 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 66.7275 and 66.6825 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 66.82 and for Euro stood at 73.95 on November 02, 2016. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 64.37, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 81.88. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
