Rupee halts three sessions’ losing streak; lower forecast for current account deficit aids

18 Aug 2012 Evaluate

Indian rupee, halting three sessions’ losing streak, appreciated against US dollar on Friday, tracing gains in local stocks amid stray dollar selling by exporters. Supported by the euro’s gains, Indian currency also gained strength, after a government panel forecasted a lower current account deficit, to $67 billion or 3.6% of the GDP in 2012/13 compared to 4.2% in the previous year. However, local unit for the week registered a fall tracing high global crude prices, as this sparked demand for American currency, thereby weighing on the sentiment of the local currency. On the global front, euro hit a six-week high on Friday in thin trade as positive comments made by German Chancellor Angela Merkel the previous day continued to keep afloat expectations that significant action will be taken to stem the onerous euro zone debt crisis.

Finally the rupee ended at 55.74, stronger by 5 paise from its previous close of 55.79 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 55.78 and 55.61 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 55.70 and for Euro it stood at Rs 68.85 on August 17, 2012. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 70.18, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 87.5473. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
