Rupee resumes southbound journey on last trading day of 2011

30 Dec 2011 Evaluate

The Indian rupee, continued to depreciate amid some volatility as market participants, especially foreign funds, squared off positions on the last day of trading in 2011. Rupee ended steady on Thursday, recovering from the day’s lows on an assumed intervention by the Reserve Bank of India, but was unable to sustain its position on the back of increased demand for the American currency from importers and strengthening of the dollar against the euro overseas. The rupee is down 16% this year and is also the worst performer among major Asian peers in 2011. The rupee, which has nosedived due to a host of factors including the euro crisis, a widening trade gap, withdrawal of foreign funds and concern over skyrocketing inflation is expected to remain vulnerable in the near term. 

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 53.22, weaker by 13 paise from its previous close of 53.09 on Thursday. It has touched a high and a low of 53.30 and 53.08 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 53.3585 and for Euro it stood at 68.9881 on December 29, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 68.67 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 82.5082. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
