Rupee recuperates from one-week low on Wednesday

19 Oct 2011 Evaluate

Indian rupee recovering from the one-week low reached in the previous session appreciated on  Wednesday on the back of gigantic gains witnessed in the domestic equity markets coupled with strength of the regional counterparts. The Indian currency strengthened on speculations that Europe’s policy makers would be able to contain the region’s debt crisis, as this underpinned the demand for emerging-market assets. However, the euro inched lower on Wednesday after Moody's cut Spain's government debt rating by two notches.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 49.17, stronger by 14 paise from its previous close of 49.31 on Tuesday. It has touched a high and low of 49.22 and 49.12 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at 49.13 and for Euro it stood at 67.58 on October 18, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 63.97 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 77.5833. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
