 Rupee gains as exit polls signal strong BJP momentum
The rupee gained in trade as sentiments were boosted following hopes that the BJP could win in at least 3 out of 4 states as indicated by most exit polls.

A strong showing for the BJP when counting is held on Sunday would raise prospects of a Narendra Modi led BJP win in the next general elections to be held in 2014. This will buoy sentiments across equity and forex markets as Modi's development agenda is well received.

 

Today's strength in the rupee was despite weak sentiments across the globe, following a sell-off in equities on worries that the Fed may soon taper its QE3 programme.
