Rupee sustains its upward trajectory for the fourth consecutive session

11 Oct 2011 Evaluate

Indian rupee extending its gains for the fourth straight session on Tuesday is hovering near a two week high level on the back of the third consecutive rally in the local equity markets which came after German and French leaders pledged to stem the European debt crisis.  Also aided by the strength in the regional counterparts along with the euro, the Indian currency has captured substantial ground. However, the rally witnessed by the Indian currency may not last much longer due to lack of a concrete euro zone debt plan. The European Union postponed a summit by a week on Monday to allow time for a broader solution to Greece's debt crisis, after Athens said it had concluded talks with international lenders on an aid payment needed to avert default. Meanwhile, even oil importers' demand for the greenback could weigh on the rupee. Oil is India's largest import item and oil refiners are the biggest buyers of dollars in the local market.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 48.93, stronger by 5 paise from its previous close of 48.97/98 on Monday. It touched a high and low of 49.1350 and 48.90 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at 49.07 and for Euro it stood at 66.16 on October 10, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 63.95 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 76.6538. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
