Rupee appreciates against dollar in early trade

16 Oct 2017 Evaluate

Extending its winning streak for sixth consecutive session, Indian rupee appreciated against US dollar on Monday, on account of selling of American currency by banks and exporters. A stronger opening in domestic equity markets too supported the local currency. Some support also came with Niti Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar’s statement that economic slowdown that began in 2013-14 has bottomed out and the GDP is likely to grow 6.9 to 7 percent this fiscal and 7.5 percent in 2018-19. However, the dollar’s strength against other currencies overseas capped some gains. On the global front, the dollar edged higher against a basket of peers on Monday after having mostly recovered from a sudden dip on Friday precipitated by data showing a rise in September of just 0.1 percent in US core consumer prices.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 64.74, stronger by 18 paise from its previous close of 64.92 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 64.7475 and 64.6800 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 64.93 and for Euro stood at 76.87 on October 13, 2017. While the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 58.01, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 86.30. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
