Indian rupee commenced strong after a long weekend on Tuesday tailing an overnight surge in the European unit against a weakening US dollar overseas. Meanwhile, persistent selling of the American currency by banks and exporters in view of its weakness amidst positive local equities has also buoyed the sentiment for the local currency. Also comforting for the Indian currency was the strength of the regional counterparts.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 45.23, stronger by 11 paise from its previous close of 45.34 on Friday. It touched a high and low of 45.25 and 45.17 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at 45.37 and for Euro it stood at 64.36 on August 12, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 59.06 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 73.5308. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
