  • • The Rupee gained against the Dollar today helped by the gains in the domestic stock market following the victory of the Government in the vote of confidence, retreat in global crude oil prices and NDF arbitrage opportunities. USD/INR pair ended at 42.09 from 42.73 yesterday.

  • • The 6- month and 1-year forward premium was at 4.77 % and 4.07% as compared to 5.17 % and 4.34% yesterday.

  • • The Dollar extended its gains against the Euro and Yen following hawkish remarks by Fed’s Plosser and Dollar supportive comments by U.S Treasury Secretary Paulson. The decline in crude oil prices further boosted the currency. EUR/USD was at 1.5761 from 1.5929 yesterday and GBP/USD was at 2.0019 from 2.0064 yesterday. USD/JPY was at 107.68 versus 106.29 yesterday.*
