India's rupee eased for the second consecutive session on Wednesday in sync with the regional counterparts, perturbed by the wobbly local equities. Further, dollar demand from oil refiners for settling the payments to Iran, also dented the sentiment. Meanwhile, the US dollar extended its previous gains through early hours of Wednesday, amidst worries about a global slowdown and as renewed tensions in the euro zone debt market kept euro under pressure. On the global front, though United States stepped back from the brink of default on Tuesday but congressional approval of a last-ditch deficit-cutting plan failed to dispel fears of a credit downgrade and future tax and spending feuds.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 44.38, weaker by 11 paise from its previous close of 44.27 on Tuesday. It touched a high and low of 44.38 and 44.32 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.
