Indian Rupee recovering from its 2 month low in early trade ended strong on Wednesday in line with the other Asian currencies. The domestic unit held back its momentum despite negative local shares. Concerns related to inflation and monetary tightening in the upcoming RBI's monetary policy review spooked the market sentiment, leading to the losses in the local bourses for the third straight session. On the global front, higher shares and commodity prices offered some support to riskier currencies including the euro, while the dollar was on the back foot as lower U.S. Treasury yields tarnished the appeal of the U.S assets ahead of FOMC minutes due later in the day.
Finally the rupee ended at 45.06, stronger by 9 paise from its previous close of 45.15 on Monday. It touched a high and low of 45.10 and 45.01 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the US dollar stood 45.08 and for Euro it stood at 64.30 on May 18, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 55.55 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 73.3452. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
