Rupee resumes its gaining trajectory after taking a breather

12 Oct 2011 Evaluate

Indian rupee after taking a breather in the previous session has resumed its gaining trajectory supported by the cheer in the Indian equity market post the IT bellwether-Infosys- reports strong Q2 numbers. Shrugging off the lower-than expected IIP data coupled with weaker euro, Indian currency bounced back aided by the stronger regional counterparts. India's industrial output (IIP) in the month of August rose a lower-than expected 4.1 percent from a year earlier. Meanwhile, Industrial output growth for July was upwardly revised to 3.84 percent. On the global front, the euro fell broadly on Wednesday, reversing its recent corrective rally made on hopes for a solution to the debt crisis, with fragile risk sentiment soured after the Slovak parliament rejected a plan to expand the euro zone rescue fund.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 49.24, stronger by 9 paise from its previous close of 49.33 on Tuesday. It has touched a high and low of 49.47 and 49.21 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at 49.03 and for Euro it stood at 66.80 on October 11, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 63.93 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 76.5998. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
