Hurt by lower domestic equity markets rupee plunged to another record low against dollar on Friday amid global risk aversion. However, increase in demand for dollar and rising capital inflows added some pressure on the local currency. Dollar strengthening against euro and other overseas currencies also hampered rupee to some extent. Investors are waiting for the aggressive intervention of the central bank in currency market. Meanwhile, euro tumbled against dollar as data showed Germany's private sector shrank in June for the second month running and manufacturing activity hits three-year low.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 56.94, weaker by 64 paise from its previous close of 56.30 on Thursday. It has touched a high and low of 56.97 and 56.76 respectively.
