Continuing strong recovery momentum for the second day, Indian rupee ended considerably stronger against dollar on Friday, as banks and exporters continued to sell the US currency amid persistent capital inflows. Sentiments were upbeat on reports that the government will stick to its borrowing and fiscal deficit targets for this fiscal, indicating that it has no plans to relax spending goals to prop up growth as of now. Some optimism also came with the statement of Niti Aayog member Bibek Debroy that while there may be some minor problems with the economy, it was nothing to be worried about. Moreover, gains in the domestic equity markets too helped the Indian currency. On the global front, Pound weakened against dollar on Friday, after data showed that the UK economic growth expanded at a slower pace year-on-year in the second quarter, than previously estimated.
Finally, the rupee ended at 65.27, 24 paise stronger from its previous close of 65.51 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 65.46 and 65.23 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 65.35 and for Euro stood at 77.06 on September 29, 2017. While the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 58.03, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 87.70. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
