Indian rupee, shrugging off earlier setback and two consecutive sessions’ losing streak, recovered on Friday, after reports suggested of the government preparing to lobby major trading partners, including Japan, Iraq and Venezuela to accept rupee payments for some of their exports, one of a series of moves to stabilize the volatile currency and make it more globally acceptable. The Indian currency depreciated past the perilous ‘63/$’ psychological level after exchange and regulatory data underscored that foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold a net of Rs 59.8 crore in shares on Thursday to snap a 32-day buying streak that totaled Rs 23,884 crore. Nevertheless, the currency ignoring the last hour of slide of local equities, ended upbeat, tailing stronger Euro and speculated intervention of RBI in the forex market, via state-run banks. In the global markets, euro hovered near a four-year high against the yen and rose against the dollar as investors positioned for a robust German business sentiment survey that is likely to show a continued rebound in Europe's largest economy.
Finally the rupee ended at 62.88, stronger by 5 paise from its previous close of 62.93 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 63.07 and 62.84 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 63.02 and for Euro stood at 84.91 on November 22, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 62.37, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 102.0415. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
