Rupee strengthens on increased selling of American currency by banks and exporters

12 May 2017 Evaluate

Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Friday on account of increased selling of the American currency by banks and exporters amid sustained foreign fund inflow. Besides, weakness in the dollar against other currencies overseas also supported the rupee. On the global front, the dollar traded below an eight-week high against the yen on Friday, with the near-term focus on whether coming US economic data would provide the catalyst for further gains in the greenback. However, the greenback has still risen 0.8 percent this week and has gained more than 4 percent in the three weeks since the first round of the France's presidential elections, with the yen having slipped on reduced risk aversion among investors.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 64.33, stronger by 4 paise from its previous close of 64.37 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 64.3475 and 64.2600 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 64.43 and for Euro stood at 70.14 on May 11, 2017. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 56.48, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 83.41. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
