Indian rupee, recouping early losses, is trading strong on Wednesday even as market remains jittery ahead of the outcome of two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, which will be unveiled today. In the early trade, increased demand from importers for the American currency mainly pressurized the Indian currency. However, recovery of domestic stock market from red terrain is providing some sort of impetus to the local unit. Nevertheless, strength of the American currency in the overseas market could restrict further appreciation of the Indian currency. On the global front, U.S. dollar held near a four-week trough against a basket of major currencies on Wednesday as investors bet that any move by the U.S. Federal Reserve to roll back stimulus will be very modest.
The partially convertible currently is trading at 63.13, stronger by 26 paise from its previous close of 63.39. The currency touched a high and low of 63.46 and 63.08 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 63.37 and for Euro it stood at 84.59 on September 17, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 63.93, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 100.8582. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
