Indian rupee giving thumbs up to optimism at Dalal Street has appreciated substantially on Thursday following fresh efforts by euro zone policymakers to prevent precipitation of Europe's debt problems into a financial crisis. The Bank of England launched a second round of quantitative easing to defend Britain's faltering economy on Thursday and the European Central Bank threw another lifeline to commercial banks by renewing offers to lend them one-year funding in two operations, this month and in December. However, also fuelling the Indian currency rally was the rebound of the euro against the American Currency coupled with jaunty regional counterparts. The domestic market was closed on Thursday on account of the 'Dussehra' festival.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 49.16, stronger by 18 paise from its previous close of 49.34 on Wednesday. It touched a high and low of 49.17 and 49.02 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at 49.19 and for Euro it stood at 65.43 on October 5, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 64.14 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 75.9177. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
