Rupee retreats from historic low levels; stays above 60/$ mark on Thursday

27 Jun 2013 Evaluate

Indian rupee, retreating from historically low levels in early deals, ended stronger on Thursday, tracing the massive gains of local equities after India’s current account deficit came at $18.1 billion, or 3.6 % of the GDP in the March quarter, sharply lower from the historically high level of 6.7% seen in the December quarter. Besides, fresh selling of the US currency by exporters and banks also supported the sentiment. However, the currency lost bit of ground after Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said that India faces challenges to finance its record high current account deficit outflows. On the global front, dollar fell against a currency basket on Thursday for the first time in over a week after Wednesday's downward revision in US first-quarter growth led some investors to trim bets on a stronger greenback.

Finally the rupee ended at 60.19, stronger by 54 paise from its previous close of 60.73 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 60.62 and 60.01 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 60.58 and for Euro it stood at Rs 78.94 on June 27, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 61.79, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 92.9178. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
