Indian rupee on the first trading day of 2017 weakened against the US dollar on Monday, due to fresh buying of the American currency by importers. Besides, dollar’s gain against major world currencies also weighed on the rupee. Rupee weakness was further due to a weak trend at the domestic equity market following the absence of significant indicators as the global markets remained shut for New Year holidays.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 68.04, weaker by 12 paise from its previous close of 67.92 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 68.0450 and 67.9300 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 67.95 and for Euro stood at 71.61 on December 30, 2016. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 58.22, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 83.42.The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
