Indian rupee continued northward journey against the dollar for the third straight day on Tuesday, amid sustained selling of the US currency by exporters. Positive local equity markets supported domestic currency to an extent. Dollar’s weakness against all other Asian currencies also helped local unit to hold gains. However, rupee’s gain may remain constrained ahead of industrial output and consumer inflation data due on April 12 amid worries that high inflation will prevent the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) from cutting interest rates aggressively despite weakening growth. Meanwhile, strength in the euro against the dollar overseas also supported the rupee.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 54.47, stronger by 10 paise from its previous close of 54.57 on Monday. The currency has touched a high and low of 54.49 and 54.41 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 54.72 and for Euro it stood at Rs 71.05 on April 8, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 55.51, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 83.8771. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
