Indian rupee declining for the fifth consecutive day, ended considerably lower on Monday on worries of a possible Greece exit from the euro zone. Greece on Monday closed its banks and imposed capital controls to check the growing strains on its crippled financial system. The domestic currency was under pressure from the very beginning on heavy dollar demand from importers and the sentiments were further weighed down by sharp correction in equity markets. On the global front, the referendum called by the Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on July 5 and imposition of capital controls in the country hurt euro, while the Dollar rose against a basket of currencies amid safe haven demand.
Finally the rupee ended at 63.84, 20 paise weaker from its previous close of 63.64 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 63.94 and 63.74 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 63.91 and for Euro stood at 70.41 on June 29, 2015. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 52.17, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 100.4008. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
