Rupee extends previous session’s gains on Wednesday

20 Jul 2011 Evaluate

Indian Rupee extending previous session gains is trading strong on Wednesday supported by dollar weakness against the euro and other Asian currencies. Positive local equities coupled with persistent selling of the American currency by banks in view of dollar weakness overseas has also aided in the appreciation of local currency. Dollar lost ground against most of its rivals yesterday as appetite for risky assets revived, partly on hopes that European officials will make progress in containing the region's debt crisis.

The partially convertible Rupee is currently trading at 44.46, stronger by 4 paise from its previous close of 44.50 on Tuesday. It has touched a high and low of 44.4775 and 44.4450 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at 44.58 and for Euro it stood at 62.78 on July 19, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 56.44 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 71.6220. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
