New Delhi: The Reserve Bank of India has intervened aggressively to curb the rupee`s strength as it struck three-month highs, two traders said on Thursday, estimating that the central bank had bought around $1 billion since Wednesday.
They said the RBI was spotted buying the greenback via state-run banks at around 66.2150 rupees per dollar on Thursday, a level last seen on Jan. 1.
At 0755 GMT, the rupee stood at 66.2300/2350 to the dollar, compared to 66.37/66.38 per dollar on Wednesday.
The Indian currency has gained as a result of broad inflows into emerging markets after the Federal Reserve signalled it would be more cautious raising interest rates than market participants had earlier thought.
