Indian rupee, after scaling past the perilous ‘62/$’ psychological level in early deals and recouping substantial ground thereon, is trading flat against dollar on Wednesday. Good dollar demand from banks and oil importers dragged the local unit in early deals, which after getting a flattish start went on losing ground. However, sustained foreign capital inflows amidst some buying in local equities aided the recovery of Indian currency. Additionally, strength of other currencies against American green back in the global market, also capped the fall of local unit. The dollar declined from a four-month high amid Treasury yields at an almost six-week low before the Federal Reserve meets next week to determine whether to continue scaling back stimulus.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.88, little changed from its previous close of 61.90 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 62.00 and 61.88 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.53 and for Euro stood at 83.37 on January 21, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 58.87, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 101.0844. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
