Indian rupee weakened against the US dollar on Monday, pressured by the hefty selloff in the domestic equity market amid concerns over the pace of national economic recovery after the daily coronavirus infections surpassed 100,000 for the first time and as new restrictions imposed in different parts of the country. Sensex fell as much as 1391 points when it hit a low of 48,638 while Nifty was below 14,500. On the global front, the greenback headed higher compared to its peers as the upbeat job and manufacturing data spurred hopes of a solid economic rebound from the coronavirus shock. The greenback posted its best quarter against major currencies in almost three years in January-March in midst of stronger US economy and surging US Treasury yields.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 73.38, weaker by 26 paise from its previous close of 73.12 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 73.5850 and 73.4500 respectively. The reference rate for the dollar stood at 72.40, and for Euro stood 85.31 on March 26, 2021. While the reference rate for the 100 Yen stood at 66.00, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 99.62.
