India's rupee ended considerably weak on Tuesday amidst the concerns that a slowing US economy will stall the global economic recovery, thereby sapping away the demand for emerging-market assets. Meanwhile, Indian currency was also bogged down by the lower regional equities and dollar demand from oil refiners to settle dues to Tehran. Additionally, weaker euro and regional counterparts also dented the sentiment of the local currency. On the global front, dollar rallied against the euro due to perceived demand for safe-haven currencies amidst the concerns about a slowing economy and a possible cut of the United States' credit rating. Meanwhile, euro was trading its weakest since July 21, with investors fretting over the concerns of the global slowdown thumping indebted euro zone peripheral countries badly.
Finally the rupee ended at 44.27, weaker by 20 paise from its previous close of 44.07 on Monday. It touched a high and low of 44.31 and 44.18 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at 44.22 and for Euro it stood at 62.9850 on August 02, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 57.16 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 72.0907. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
