Indian rupee continued trading positive against greenback on the back of capital inflows and persistent dollar selling by banks. Positive local equity markets and dollar’s weakness against other Asian currencies supported domestic currency to an extent. Meanwhile, euro hit a three-week high versus the dollar, which also helped rupee to hold gains. Investors remained cautious ahead of the results season, which kick-starts today. However, foreign funds have been sellers in Indian equities and debt for most of April after heavy purchases earlier in the year is also expected to restrict the local unit’s gains going forward.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 54.54, stronger by 4 paise from its previous close of 54.58 on Tuesday. The currency has touched a high and low of 54.54 and 54.44 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 54.46 and for Euro it stood at Rs 70.98 on April 9, 2013.
