Rupee remains upbeat for second consecutive session; further upside limited

08 Jan 2014 Evaluate

Indian rupee, after getting a good start, continues to remain upbeat for second consecutive session on Wednesday tailing the gains of local equity market. Further, strength of Asian currencies against dollar also is aiding the upside of local currency. However, dollar demand from oil importers has put a cap on further appreciation of Rupee. Nevertheless, trade remains largely range-bound ahead of inflation data next week, which could provide some cues on RBI’s stance in its upcoming monetary policy review on January 28, 2014. On the global front, dollar hovered near a one-month high against a basket of major currencies early in Asia on Wednesday, having rebounded smartly overnight on the back of upbeat U.S. trade data.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 62.24, stronger by 7 paise from its previous close of 62.31 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 62.26 and 62.16 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 62.37 and for Euro stood at 84.97 on January 7, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 59.71, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 102.2454. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
