Indian rupee, after taking a breather in the previous trading session, resumed its appreciating streak on Friday, tailing the jubilant gains of local equities amidst mild selling of American currency by banks and exporters. Back in the previous session, Indian currency depreciated to a three-week low on month-end dollar demand from the US currency from importers and Bank. However, in today’s trading session, strength of the euro against the dollar overseas also aided sentiments. Meanwhile, in the global market, yen wallowed at five-year troughs against the dollar and euro on Friday, having fallen prey to a renewed appetite for risk which lifted Wall Street to record highs and weighed on the low yielding currency.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 62.07, stronger by 9 paise from its previous close of 62.16 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 62.16 and 62.01 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.97 and for Euro stood at 84.79 on December 26, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 59.15, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 101.4911. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
