Indian rupee after snapping three consecutive sessions’ winning streak in previous trading session and getting a weak start past the perilous ‘62/$’ level on Friday, continued to languish in early deals on account of month-end dollar demand. Additionally, prevailing caution ahead of April-January fiscal deficit figures and Oct-Dec quarter GDP data, due to be released later in the session also weighed on the sentiment, though positive local equities restricted the further slide of Indian currency. On the global front, dollar held steady against the yen and the euro on Friday, after a surge in U.S. equities confirmed investor appetite for risk and helped the currency recoup some of the losses suffered earlier on geopolitical concerns.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 62.12, weaker by 13 paise from its previous close of 61.99 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 62.14 and 62.04 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.93 and for Euro stood at 85.11 on February 26, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 60.53, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 103.3126. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
