04 Oct 2011 Evaluate

Indian rupee has gained some traction on the last trading day of the week tracing the euphoria at the Indian equity markets which spiked up sharply post Greece scrapping a referendum on a bailout plan, moved European nation closer to receiving aid, which in turn increased the global risk appetite for emerging market’s assets. Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou scrapped the referendum to avert a split in his party before a confidence vote today, after European leaders said the move may determine the nation’s membership in the currency union and will threaten aid payments. However, jauntily trading regional counterparts further fuelled the uptrend of the Indian currency. On the global front, the euro has sprint into stiff resistance after a rebound sparked when Greece effectively abandoned plans for a referendum on its bailout package, as market players worry that protracted political instability could bring further flare-ups in the euro zone's debt crisis.
