Indian rupee recovered from 10-month’s low and appreciated against greenback on the back of euro’s gains against the American currency overseas, after a report showed business confidence in Germany unexpectedly rose for the first time in three months in May. Selling of dollars by exporters also helped local unit to hold gains. Meanwhile, Reserve Bank of India stepping in to prop up the rupee after it fell to a 10-month low to the dollar on Wednesday, also helped rupee to recover. The dollar remained under pressure on increasing hopes that the US Federal Reserve will maintain its stimulus for the time being. Meanwhile, investors remained cautious ahead of gross domestic product data scheduled to be released on May 31.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 56.08, stronger by 10 paise from its previous close of 56.18 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 56.17 and 56.05 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 56.24 and for Euro it stood at Rs 72.32 on May 29, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 55.05, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 84.5389. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
