Indian rupee extending its gains has made a strong start on Thursday. The domestic currency that has reached its six weeks high in last session on the back of strength in equity markets and tailing other emerging market currencies on hopes of easing tensions in Ukraine, has strengthened further against the dollar enthused by improving sentiment in the domestic economy, as the India’s current account deficit narrowed to $4.2 billion in the October-December quarter compared with $5.2 billion in the previous quarter. On the global front the dollar edged higher against the euro and yen, shrugging off softer-than-expected economic data, while the euro remained defensive on Thursday on possible policy easing by the European Central Bank later in the day.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.48, stronger by 29 paise from its previous close of 61.77 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 61.53 and 61.40 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.85 and for Euro stood at 84.91 on March 5, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 60.56, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 103.0566. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
