Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Thursday on increased selling of the American currency by exporters and banks. Besides, a higher opening in the domestic equity markets also fuelled the uptrend. On the global front, the dollar was on the defensive on Thursday after the Federal Reserve dialed down on some of the more hawkish policy expectations in the market, while the euro edged back towards a 6-1/2-month high.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 64.5575, stronger by 17 paise from its previous close of 64.73 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 64.5775 and 64.48 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 64.85 and for Euro stood at 72.47 on May 24, 2017. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 57.96, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 84.09. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
