Indian rupee extending its slide for third straight day on Thursday, breached the 64 mark against the dollar in early trade on sustained capital outflows by foreign funds amid appreciation of the dollar against other currencies overseas. Besides, increased demand for dollar from importers and banks weighed on the local currency. Indian rupee weakened further after local equity markets fell over 1,000 points in the last two days. The local markets fell on the fears of drought after the India Meteorological Department cut its monsoon forecast to 88% from 93% earlier. Also, traders were worried that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) may not cut rates in future.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 64.17, weaker by 26 paise from its previous close of 63.91on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 64.25 and 64.11 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 63.85 and for Euro stood at 71.28 on June 3, 2015. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 51.52, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 98.1206. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
