Indian rupee, cooling off from their highs reached in last session, ended weaker on Friday. The domestic currency after a soft start remained in negative territory throughout the day, as the equity markets across the globe were under pressure on growth concern and the dollar inched higher against a basket of major currencies after a plunge in German exports raised fears of a recession in Europe's largest economy. Although, the domestic currency pared its losses towards the end but dollar demand from importers kept weighing on the sentiments. There was some cautiousness too ahead of the release of the index of industrial production data, which was expected to show some improvement on month-on-month basis. On the global front, the dollar continued to move higher, while the yen strengthened this week on indication that European economy is losing momentum.
Finally the rupee ended at 61.14, weaker by 9 paise from its previous close of 61.05 on Thursday. The currency touched a high and low of 61.21 and 60.11 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.16 and for Euro stood at 77.67 on October 10, 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 98.6244. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
