Indian rupee weakened against the US dollar on Monday on risk aversion as oil rose above $75 a barrel and amid geo-political tensions related to United States and Iran. However, higher opening in the domestic equity markets capped the rupee’s fall. On the global front, the dollar stayed near its 2018 peak early on Monday after US jobs and wages data did little to water down perceptions of strength in the US economy, though renewed concerns about trade frictions could cloud its outlook.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 67.09, weaker by 22 paise from its previous close of 66.87 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 67.1325 and 66.7900 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 66.76 and for Euro stood at 79.96 on May 04, 2018. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 61.17, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 90.58. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
