Rupee appreciates against dollar on gold import tax hike

22 Jan 2013 Evaluate

Indian rupee appreciated against dollar and is trading near three-months high following the government stunt of increasing gold import tax by 2% points to 6%, as gold import-related dollar buying is the main cause of dollar demand after oil in currency markets. This move is expected to decline gold purchases and rein-in a ballooning fiscal deficit. Positive local equity markets along with dollar selling by some banks also supported local unit to an extent. 

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 53.48, stronger by 27 paise from its previous close of 53.75 on Monday. The currency has touched a high and low of 53.56 and 53.38 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 53.87 and for Euro it stood at Rs 71.77 on January 21, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 60.11, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 85.5296. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
