Indian rupee, after getting a subdued start, is now trading strong on Friday on account foreign inflows in local bonds, which have exceeded $2 billion so far in January. Additionally, weakness of local equities, however is restricting further upside of Indian currency. Nevertheless, dollar’s weakness in the overseas market also has bolstered the strength of local unit. On the global front, U.S. dollar has faded a little on Friday after two days of gains, as a run of mixed U.S. economic data left the market uncertain about its future direction.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.35, stronger by 19 paise from its previous close of 61.54 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 61.50 and 61.32 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.53 and for Euro stood at 83.83 on January 16, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 58.77, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 100.7349. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
