Tracking weakness in local equity markets, Indian rupee continued trading lower against American currency which strengthened against other overseas currencies. Increasing oil related dollar demand from state-run refiners was mainly pressurizing the local currency with Brent crude rising over $115/barrel on supply worries. Euro held steady against the dollar on Monday, but pared major early gains ahead of major euro zone events coming up over the next few weeks.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 55.61, weaker by 11 paise from its previous close of 55.50 on Friday. The currency, so far, has touched a high and low of 55.63 and 55.55 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 55.38 and for Euro it stood at Rs 69.47 on August 24, 2012. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 70.47, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 87.7971. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
