Indian rupee strengthens against dollar

15 May 2012 Evaluate

After touching a new record low against dollar earlier day Indian rupee strengthen on Tuesday on central bank’s suspected massive intervention. Selling of the US currency by some banks and exporters helped the rupee to recover from record low. But dollar's gains against other Asian currencies and euro, which slumped to a four-month low in view of fresh euro-zone worries, capped the rupee’s gains. However Reserve Bank of India is expected to intervene aggressively this month as the rupee moved steadily towards its all-time low driven by a mixture of worsening global risk aversion and concerns about India's fiscal and economic challenges. Besides, the RBI announced on May 14, 2012 that it will purchase bonds via open market operations at the end of the week.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 53.91, stronger by 2 paise from its previous close of 53.93 on Monday. It has touched a high and low of 54.13 and 53.55 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 53.71 and for Euro it stood at Rs 69.22 on May 14, 2012. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 67.10 the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 86.3444. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
