Indian rupee made a soft start on Thursday; the domestic currency has been on a downward trajectory since last session despite wholesale price index (WPI)-based inflation data moderating significantly to a five-month low at 6.16% in December, as the dollar strengthened against major currencies after Federal Reserve Beige Book report said that the US economy is continuing to grow at a moderate pace and the economic outlook is positive, confirming recent economic indicators. Rupee was being pressured by the dollar demand of oil importers and on fear of capital outflows.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.58, weaker by 3 paise from its previous close of 61.55 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 61.71 and 61.57 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.58 and for Euro stood at 83.99 on January 15, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 58.99, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 101.0914. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
