Hurt by weakness in local shares Indian rupee continued to fall against dollar on Wednesday as euro zone worries prolonged with woes about Spain's increasing borrowing costs and prospects that more spending may be needed to hold up its ailing banks. Increasing demand for dollar from importers added pressure on local currency. However doubts about India's fiscal and economic condition, and fears of slowing policy reforms restricted investors from making any position. On contrary depreciation of rupee has helped ONGC to an extent, as it has been able to realize more money on production of oil and reported stellar Q4 net profit numbers.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 56.06, weaker by 39 paise from its previous close of 55.67 on Tuesday. It has touched a high and low of 56.17 and 56.00 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 55.58 and for Euro it stood at Rs 69.73 on May 29, 2012. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 69.93, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 87.1438. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
