Rupee recuperates from 9-month low level tailing positive local equities

23 Aug 2011 Evaluate

Indian rupee showcased signs of recovery on Tuesday after touching a 9-month low in early deals tailing gains of local equities amidst strong regional counterparts which mainly buoyed the sentiment of the local currency. Also supported the local currency sentiment were the gains of the euro which offset the pressure from the dollar demand of oil refiners that had pushed the unit to near 9-month lows in opening trade. On the global front, though euro edged higher on Tuesday with trader fears that the currency could come under pressure if euro zone manufacturing data points to more downside risk in a market which is already fretting about a global recession. Meanwhile, the dollar fell against some commodity-linked currencies on Monday as investors speculated the Federal Reserve could take new measures to boost the U.S. economy, lifting appetite for riskier assets.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 45.67, stronger by 2 paise from its previous close of 45.69 on Monday. It touched a high and low of 45.75 and 45.63 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood 45.94 and for Euro it stood at 66.0129 on August 22, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 59.88 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 75.7619. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
