Indian rupee, prolonging last two sessions’ appreciating streak, strengthened against dollar to the highs in nearly two weeks on Friday on growing belief that the currency has been badly oversold, even as few traders expect a meaningful recovery. Meanwhile, prolonged euphoria since RBI’s governor Raghuram Rajan unveiled a slew of proposals to support the rupee and open up markets that also kept the rally going at Dalal Street, aiding sentiment for the local currency. Meanwhile, expectations that fuel price could be hiked during weekend, also added to the positives of the currency. On the global front, dollar held firm near a seven-week high against a basket of currencies on Friday after solid US economic data heightened expectations that a key jobs report later in the day might make a reduction in the Federal Reserve's stimulus a done deal.
Finally the rupee ended at 65.24, stronger by 76 paise from its previous close of 66.00 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 66.31 and 65.00 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 65.96 and for Euro it stood at 86.58 on September 06, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 66.09, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 102.9108. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
