Rupee resumes appreciating streak after a breather; ends near day's high point

27 Dec 2013 Evaluate

Indian rupee, after taking a breather in the previous trading session, resumed its appreciating streak and ended near day’s high point on Friday, tailing modest gains of local equities on hopes of continued inflow from FIIs, who turned net buyers of Rs 783.80 crore in Indian shares on Friday, bringing their monthly total so far to around Rs 15552.90 crore. However, month-end dollar demand from oil importers limited the further appreciation of Indian currency. Nevertheless, euro’ gains also lifted the sentiment for Indian currency. 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

Finally, the rupee ended at 61.85, stronger by 31 paise from its previous close of 62.16 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 62.16 and 61.83 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 62.05 and for Euro stood at 85.27 on December 27, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 59.23, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 102.0320. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
