Indian rupee, despite retreating from two week high level, is trading with strength on Wednesday on account of sustained selling of the US currency by exporters and custodian banks. Additionally, slight gains of euro against the dollar overseas have also propped up the sentiment of Indian currency. However, the gains of local unit were tampered with tracing local equities, which tumbled in early trade after rate cut bets tapered off.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 54.15, tad stronger from its previous close of 54.18 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 54.20 and 54.03 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 54.33 and for Euro it stood at Rs 70.73 on March 12, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 56.40, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 80.8989. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
