The Indian rupee rose substantially on Friday tracking firm local equity markets and broad dollar weakness against major currencies. Sustained selling of dollars by banks and exporters coupled with euro's strength against the greenback mainly supported the local currency. The possibility of China stepping up European bond purchases and easing risk aversion on the back of Asian share gains propelled the euro higher. However, the rupee's gains could be capped due to dollar demand from importers to settle monthly import bills.
The partially convertible Rupee is currently trading at 45.19, stronger by 11 paise from its previous close of 45.30 on Thursday. It touched a high and low of 45.26 and 45.19 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the US dollar stood at 45.29 and for Euro it stood at 64.18 on May 26, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 55.38 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 73.8408. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
