Indian rupee, protracting previous two sessions’ appreciating streak, concluded stronger to a week high level on Thursday, on continued custodial inflows. Sustained dollar selling by exporters and banks counterbalanced somewhat flattish to negative close of Indian equity markets, leading to appreciation of local unit for third consecutive session. However, the gains of local unit were also tracing common currency’s appreciation. Euro rose against the dollar and the yen on Thursday after strong demand at a Spanish bond auction, however further gains were likely to be limited before a European Central Bank (ECB) meet, where the rates are expected to be widely kept on hold.
Finally the rupee ended at 54.58, stronger by 17 paise from its previous close of 54.75 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 54.78 and 54.56 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 54.63 and for Euro it stood at Rs 71.32 on January 10, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 61.99, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 87.5017. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
