Rupee extends the previous session’s jubilant mood; hovers near the 3 year's high level

27 Jul 2011 Evaluate

Indian rupee after climbing to 34 month high level in the previous trading session on Tuesday, has enticed some more strength in tandem with the regional counterparts on Wednesday. Propelled by RBI's higher-than-expected interest rate increase that boosted outlook on portfolio inflows, the local currency has scaled this high level. Additionally, the currency also buoyed by the dollar weakness overseas for the second consecutive session coupled with the positive opening of the Indian equity markets, is trading in jubilant mood for the second straight session. Meanwhile, euro gains have also cushioned the gains of the local unit. On the global front, the dollar sank to a three-month low against a basket of major currencies on Wednesday as markets fretted about the prospect of a U.S. debt default and downgrade, while they cautiously waited to see if Japan would intervene to weaken the yen.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 43.88, stronger by 30 paise from its previous close of 44.18 on Tuesday. It touched a high and low of 44.07 and 43.86 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at 44.28 and for Euro it stood at 64.16 on July 26, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 56.73 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 72.3654. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
