Indian rupee has made a mildly positive start of the new week after ending flat in last session, tracking gains in the domestic and most other Asian equity markets. Rupee is recovering as the Indian economy seems to be better prepared to handle the tapering now than in August. The global currencies in the Asian trade are not showing much movement owing to a holiday in Japan and both the dollar and yen were trading range bound. The dollar had risen last week after the Federal Reserve took a first step towards winding down its massive stimulus program.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.93, stronger by 10 paise from its previous close of 62.03 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 62.00 and 61.89 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 62.24 and for Euro stood at 84.87 on December 20, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 59.59, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 101.8092. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
