Rupee trades unchanged from its previous close level

13 Oct 2011 Evaluate

Indian rupee after posting its biggest single-day rise in 10 months in the previous session, has taken a breather as the local unit is currently trading unchanged from its previous close. Positive local equities coupled with the strong regional counterparts are counterbalancing the negative effect prevailing on account of good dollar demand from banks and importers on the back of dollar firmness in overseas markets. The dollar has extended already hefty overnight gains today as strong jobs data led the market to scale back expectations for rate cuts in the near-term. Meanwhile, euro edged higher on Thursday, hovering near a one-month high hit the previous day, with traders believing that the single currency could eke out more gains in the near-term on short-covering, even if a sustained rally seems unlikely.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 48.98, almost unchanged from its previous close of 48.97 on Wednesday. It has touched a high and low of 49.04 and 48.90 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at 49.24 and for Euro it stood at 67.17 on October 12, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 64.19 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 76.8012. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
