Rupee snaps two consecutive sessions’ appreciating streak on broad dollar gains

09 Jan 2014 Evaluate

Indian rupee, after opening weak and snapping two consecutive sessions’ appreciating streak, weakened on Thursday on broad dollar gains against the basket of major currencies. Further, weak local equities also weighed on the sentiment. Prevailing caution ahead of factory data on Friday and Inflation data next week, which would provide cues on RBI’s stance in its upcoming monetary policy review on January 28, mainly restricted the upside of local unit. On the global front, dollar hovered at seven-week highs against a basket of major currencies early on Thursday, having risen for a second session after an upbeat private-sector jobs report drove U.S. short-term yields and market rates higher.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 62.18, weaker by 12 paise from its previous close of 62.06 on Wednesday. The currency touched high and low of 62.26 and 62.06 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 62.24 and for Euro stood at 84.81 on January 8, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 59.34, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 102.1719. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
