Indian rupee, rebounded from the perilous 62/$ level after Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram, in the interim budget, underscored that the fiscal deficit for the current financial year would be contained at 4.6 per cent of GDP and pegged country’s gross market borrowing, on the lower end of market expectations at Rs 5.97 trillion for FY 2014/15. However, the Indian currency also managed to gain momentum after finance minister highlighted that CAD, which threatened to exceed last year’s $88 billion, will be contained at $45 billion. On the global front, dollar languished at a six-week low against a basket of major currencies on Monday, struggling to get over yet more disappointing U.S. economic news that stood in contrast to better data out of the euro zone and China.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.92, little changed from its previous close of 61.94 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 62.08 and 61.85 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 62.27 and for Euro stood at 84.87 on February 13, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 61.02, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 103.4658. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
