Indian rupee, after surging to three months high level in previous session and more so after making good start, has appreciated further on Friday. The currency has strengthened to sub 61/$ level after foreign investors posted their biggest daily purchases of shares this year in the previous session, sending Indian equity markets spiraling towards record high levels. Overseas investors extended their buying streak to a 15th straight day and bought Indian shares worth Rs 1273 crore on Thursday, their biggest daily purchase since December 19, 2013. Additionally, euro’s gains also provided some support to the Indian currency. On the global front, euro hovered near a two-month high against the dollar early on Friday following a relief rally when the European Central Bank left its interest rates unchanged.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 60.97, stronger by 15 paise from its previous close of 61.12 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 61.10 and 60.94 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.32 and for Euro stood at 84.18 on March 6, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 59.74, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 102.5402. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
