Indian rupee strengthened against US dollar on Friday after exit polls predicted a victory for the ruling BJP in Gujarat. Meanwhile, domestic equity markets also opened in the green. Furthermore, the dollar lost some mojo against the euro after the European Central Bank left its policy rates and stimulus measures intact. The Bank of England, too, kept key interest rates unchanged. On the global front, the dollar was on the defensive on Friday after wrangling over a bill to change the US tax code dented confidence, while the euro sagged after the European Central Bank signaled it would maintain stimulus for as long as needed.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 64.04, stronger by 30 paise from its previous close of 64.34 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 64.1700 and 64.0050 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 64.27 and for Euro stood at 75.99 on December 14, 2017. While the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 57.06, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 86.35. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
