Indian rupee after posting best week in nearly fifteen months, have made another strong start on Monday along with other emerging market currencies after Lawrence Summers dropped from the race to be head of the Federal Reserve, paving the way for Janet Yellen, who is said to be favouring a slower reduction in US stimulus. Emerging market currencies have been under pressure on fear that Fed will cut its monetary stimulus next week. The weakness in crude oil prices too have supported the domestic currency, though the traders were eyeing the WPI inflation data to be released later in the day ahead of the RBI monetary policy review. The dollar was trading weak against a basket of major currencies on easing concerns about an early end to Fed’s stimulus programme.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 62.68, stronger by 80 paise from its previous close of 63.48. The currency has touched a high and low of 63.70 and 62.50 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 63.78 and for Euro it stood at 84.66 on September 13, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 63.88, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 100.7037. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
