Indian rupee was trading near a month low level on Monday on the back of negative local equities and majorly on account of strength of dollar index against the basket of major currency. Subdued IIP figures for the month of July mainly dampened the sentiment of local equities even as August CPI data was in line with expectations. On the macro-front, the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) rose 0.5% in July from a year ago, slowest in four months, while the simultaneously released Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation slowed to 7.80% in August from nearly 7.96% in the previous month. However, fresh demand from importers for the American unit and prevailing caution ahead of wholesale price index (WPI)-based inflation data for August, also weighed on the sentiment of Indian currency.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.05, weaker by 39 paise from its previous close of 60.66 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 61.10 and 60.92 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 60.84 and for Euro stood at 78.64 on September 12, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 56.74, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 98.7251. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
