Indian rupee, shrugging aside morning strength, is now trading almost flat as negative local equities are counterbalancing gains seen on account of three year low Q2 Current Account Deficit (CAD), which plunged to $5.2 billion versus $21 billion year-on-year, on the back of turnaround in exports and decline in gold imports. Additionally, some gains were also tempered with on account of 0.6% decline of Core industries' output data, which occupies 37.9% weight in the overall Index of Industrial Production (IIP). Nevertheless, some dollar selling by banks and exporters prevented any slide of Indian currency. In the global market, while the dollar strengthened, yen wallowed near six-month lows against the dollar on Tuesday, and five-year lows against the euro and sterling due to prospects of the Bank of Japan taking more stimulus steps.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 62.33, almost unchanged from its previous close of 62.32 on Monday. The currency has touched a high and low of 62.44 and 62.30 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 62.22 and for Euro stood at 84.64 on December 02, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 60.74, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 102.1378. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
