Rupee snaps four consecutive sessions’ appreciating streak; downturn limited

10 Dec 2013 Evaluate

Indian rupee, snapping four consecutive sessions’ appreciating streak and shrugging morning gains, was trading bit weak on Tuesday, tailing the slide of positive local equities as retail and fund investors booked profits. Additionally, some dollar buying that got triggered at lower level, also led to depreciation of Indian currency. However, the depreciation of Indian currency was limited on account of gains of most of the Asian currencies and a stronger euro. In the global market, euro stayed well-bid on Tuesday, scaling a fresh five-year high on the yen and a six-week peak against the dollar as expectations for further stimulus from the European Central Bank continued to fade. Back on home front, at a time when the Rupee firmed up near 61/$ level, Economic Affairs Secretary Arvind Mayaram underscored that Indian currency has reached its real value. He however cautioned that 'there should be no exuberance'.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.24, weaker by 10 paise from its previous close of 61.14 on Monday. The currency has touched a high and low of 61.29 and 60.98 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.17 and for Euro stood at 83.81 on December 09, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 59.38, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 100.0146. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
