Indian rupee pared some of early gains to end marginally stronger against dollar on Wednesday, due to some dollar demand from importers and corporates. Traders were taking support from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement who called upon entrepreneurs from across the globe to make India their base for the world. He said that India has emerged as one of the fastest-growing economies and a happening place with immense opportunities in a number of areas. This was the third consecutive session when the rupee traded higher against dollar. However, gains were capped with a foreign brokerage firm lowering India’s GDP growth forecast for current fiscal to 6.6 percent from the previous 6.8 percent, citing that businesses were still adjusting to the new GST regime and there was limited room for fiscal support. On the global front, dollar held firm on Wednesday after Wall Street shot to record peaks amid signs of progress on US tax cuts.
Finally, the rupee ended at 64.32, 9 paise stronger from its previous close of 64.41 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 64.51 and 64.28 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 64.40 and for Euro stood at 76.32 on November 29, 2017. While the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 57.75, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 86.14. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
