Indian rupee rose to its highest level in 11 days on Friday after euro zone leaders finally struck a bailout deal for Greece, thereby easing concerns that the region’s debt crisis may spread and threaten global growth. The local currency buoyed by the surge of the euro, further strengthened with the splendid gains of the local equities and regional counterparts. Meanwhile, weaker dollar overseas also added to the strength of the local unit. On the global front, the euro hovered near a two-week high against the dollar and rose against the safe-haven Swiss franc on Friday after euro zone leaders agreed a second rescue package for Greece and measures to stop the debt crisis spreading. Meanwhile, the dollar was punished across the board as the encouraging news out of Europe contrasted with confusion over how much progress Washington is making to avoid a U.S. default.
Finally the Rupee ended at 44.35, stronger by 15 paise from its previous close of 44.50 on Thursday. It has touched a high and low of 44.41 and 44.35 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at 44.37 and for Euro it stood at 63.87 on July 22, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 56.45 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 72.3422. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
