04 Mar 2014 Evaluate

Indian rupee, after clocking its biggest loss in nearly two weeks in previous trading session and opening around those levels, has recouped some of the lost ground in late morning deals tracing the gains of local equities on Tuesday. Global risk aversion on geo-political tension and dismal GDP data weighed on the sentiment of Indian currency in the previous session. Meanwhile, investors would await February trade data, due to be released later in the noon for further direction of Indian currency. Nevertheless, Indian currency, in-line with most of the emerging currencies witnessed some recuperation after yen slipped on Tuesday, taking a breather from its recent rally that was sparked by investors flocking to the safe-haven currency, though tensions over Russian military intervention in Ukraine were seen likely to lend it support in the near term.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.98, stronger by 6 paise from its previous close of 62.04 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 62.15 and 61.98 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.86 and for Euro stood at 85.30 on March 3, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 61.01, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 103.5235. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
