Supported by firm domestic equity markets, Indian rupee opened stronger against dollar on Thursday on the back of dollar selling by banks and exporters. However Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who has taken charge of the finance ministry, called officials on Wednesday to prepare an economic revival plan in part addressing problems in tax policy and said that he wanted to revive the 'animal spirit' of Indian economic growth. Month end demand for dollar from oil importers limited the local currencies gains. Meanwhile, euro rose against dollar as investors bought the common currency back ahead of a European Union summit on hopes of resolving the eurozone debt crisis.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 56.94, stronger by 19 paise from its previous close of 57.13 on Wednesday. It has touched a high and low of 57.10 and 56.94 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 57.21 and for Euro it stood at Rs 71.46 on June 27, 2012. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 71.93, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 89.4208. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
