Indian rupee, snapping two consecutive sessions’ appreciating streak, was trading weak against dollar on Tuesday on fresh dollar demand by oil importers and some foreign banks on behalf of their clients. Additionally, dollar’s strength against basket of other major currencies also weighed on the sentiment. However, further slide of Indian currency was limited on account of gains of local equities. On the global front, short covering helped lift the dollar to a one-week high against the yen on Tuesday after China growth data was not as bad as many feared, while the euro remained under pressure ahead of possible easing steps by the European Central Bank as early as this week
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.91, weaker by 21 paise from its previous close of 61.70 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 61.91 and 61.73 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.69 and for Euro stood at 71.33 on January 19, 2015. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 52.68, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 93.4123. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
