Rupee appreciates against dollar

09 Aug 2012 Evaluate

Supported by positive local equity markets, Indian rupee opened higher on Thursday and currently holding early gains against dollar in the late morning session. Dollar’s weakness against other overseas currencies also supported local unit to extent. Meanwhile, India's industrial output registered a negative growth of 1.8% for the month of June 2012 against the growth figure of 2.4% in May, due to weak investment at home owing to policy inaction and a drop in export orders from the United States and Europe. However, rising hopes for RBI rate cut on the back of lower than expected IIP numbers also helped domestic currency to hold gains.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 55.20, stronger by 22 paise from its previous close of 55.42 on Wednesday. The currency, so far, has touched a high and low of 55.21 and 55.06 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 55.14 and for Euro it stood at Rs 68.31 on August 8, 2012. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 70.38, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 86.0041. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
