Extending its previous session’s gains, Indian rupee strengthened further against dollar on Wednesday, due to sustained selling of the US currency by exporters and banks. Sentiments got some support with oil cartel OPEC's Secretary General Mohammed Barkindo’s statement that India is experiencing some of the greatest structural changes as bold new reforms like note ban and GST have put the country firmly on a sustainable growth path. Besides, dollar’s slide against some currencies overseas, too gave some support to rupee, though last hour losses in domestic equity markets restricted the further up move. On the global front, dollar was trading at more than one week lows against a basket of the other major currencies on Wednesday amid uncertainty over President Donald Trump’s tax plan, while the euro was higher as fears over Catalonia eased.
Finally, the rupee ended at 65.13, 15 paise stronger from its previous close of 65.28 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 65.31 and 65.12 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 65.26 and for Euro stood at 77.16 on October 11, 2017. While the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 58.08, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 86.11. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
