Indian rupee continued its upward journey against dollar on Thursday amid increasing capital inflows. Positive local equity markets and sustained dollar selling by exporters and banks boosted the rupee sentiment. Moreover government’s move to improve public finances by making a proposal to cabinet for raising diesel prices and increasing the number of subsidized cylinders available to households to nine a year from the current cap of six, was also positive for the domestic currency. However, euro’s weakness against dollar capped the local units’ gains to some extent.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 54.68, stronger by 7 paise from its previous close of 54.75 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 54.78 and 54.60 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 54.96 and for Euro it stood at Rs 71.92 on January 9, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 62.86, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 88.2286. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
