08 Jun 2011 Evaluate

Indian Rupee recouping early losses touched a one month high on Wednesday tracking the weakness of dollar against the basket of major currencies. However, negative local shares amidst the demand for the greenback from oil refiners could limit the upside of the domestic unit going further in the day. On the global front, the dollar fell to a one-month low against a basket of currencies on Tuesday and a record low against the Swiss franc after a Chinese official said the greenback would continue to weaken versus other major currencies. The U.S. currency was also weighed down by comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke that bolstered expectations for U.S. interest rates to stay low for now.

The partially convertible is currently trading at 44.62, stronger by 7 paise from its previous close of 44.96 on Tuesday. It has touched a high and low of 44.75 and 44.58 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the US dollar stood at 44.74 and for Euro it stood at 65.48 on June 7, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 55.72 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 73.2528. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
