Extending previous session gains Rupee ended strong on Wednesday supported by dollar weakness against the euro and other Asian currencies. Negative local equities to some extent weighed on the local currency but persistent selling of the American currency by banks in view of dollar weakness overseas counterbalanced it all, thereby aiding the appreciation of local currency. On the global front, U.S. dollar stroked a 2 1/2-month low versus the Canadian dollar on Wednesday, as the Canadian dollar extended gains after Chinese oil producer CNOOC Ltd's announcement to buy Canada's Opti Canada Inc. Meanwhile, euro firmed up amidst cautious trading on the eve of a crucial summit where eurozone leaders will attempt to clinch a new bailout for debt-riddled Greece.
Finally the Rupee ended at 44.45, weaker by 5 paise from its previous close of 44.50 on Tuesday. It touched a high and low of 44.50 and 44.44 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at 44.46 and for Euro it stood at 62.94 on July 20, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 56.26 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 71.6700. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
