Indian rupee continues to trade weak against dollar on Tuesday on the back of massive losses of local equities after India's Current Account Deficit (CAD) for the second quarter of the current financial year widened to $10.1 billion against $5.2 billion on Y-o-Y basis, which translated into 2.1% of GDP against 1.2% in the same quarter the previous year. However, continued inflows prevent sharp gains in the USD/INR pair. Foreign institutional investors have bought debt worth $1.3 billion so far in December. On the global front, yen edged higher on Tuesday as a fall in oil prices dented risk appetite and prompted investors to trim short positions in the Japanese currency.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.88, weaker by 4 paise from its previous close of 61.84 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 61.91 and 61.84 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.92 and for Euro stood at 76.10 on December 08, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 50.98, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 96.3743.
