Hurt by weak local shares rupee resumes downward journey

18 May 2012 Evaluate

Indian Rupee resumed southward journey against dollar following weakness in the local equity markets. Strong demand from oil importers and boost in capital outflows mainly pressurized the local currency. Dollar gains against euro and other Asian currencies also affected rupee to a large extent. However investors were not able to take their positions and stick to risk aversion as Asian stocks showing deep cuts and euro falling to a four-month low. Meanwhile, central bank too is not intervening in the market as stated that it will only step in to manage volatility but value of rupee would have to be market-driven.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 54.85, weaker by 38 paise from its previous close of 54.47 on Thursday. It has touched a high and low of 54.87 and 54.60 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 54.38 and for Euro it stood at Rs 69.30 on May 17, 2012. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 67.73 the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 86.5577. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
