Indian rupee recovering from its last session’s sluggishness made a strong start on Wednesday. The positive start in local equity markets has raised hopes of continued dollar inflows from foreign institutional investors. Rupee had surged to one week high intraday in last session but pared all its gains on dollar demand from oil importers. In the global markets the dollar stood near its lowest level in more than four months against a basket of currencies, ahead of Janet Yellen’s inaugural policy review as the Federal Reserve’s Chief.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.15, stronger by 5 paise from its previous close of 61.20 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 61.16 and 61.05 respectively.The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 60.94 and for Euro stood at 84.89 on March 18, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 59.90, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 101.3703. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
