Indian rupee opened fairly higher against dollar on the back of dollar selling by one of the biggest corporate and expectation of positive trade in equity markets. But local currency was unable to hold the early gains amid slowdown fears in global economy. Strong GDP data from China also supported local unit to an extent. Meanwhile, euro remained at lower levels against American currency on Friday after Moody's cut Italy's credit rating by two notches, an unexpected setback for a jittery market already bracing for a weak reading on China's economy.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 55.65, stronger by 28 paise from its previous close of 55.93 on Thursday. It has touched a high and low of 55.69 and 55.52 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 55.69 and for Euro it stood at Rs 68.1465 on July 12, 2012. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 70.11, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 86.2825. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
