Indian rupee snapped its two day’s winning streak on Monday owing to fresh dollar demand from banks and importers amid firmness of the American currency overseas and a fall in the domestic equity market. Mounting fears of Europe's sovereign debt troubles that could trigger a full blown banking crisis mainly curtailed risk appetite and sent shares and the euro lower, weighing on the Indian currency. Further, cancellation of a visit by Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou to the United States to chair an emergency meeting and a regional election defeat for Germany's chancellor Angela Merkel also added fuel to an already tense euro.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 47.81, weaker by 55 paise from its previous close of 47.26 on Friday. It touched a high and low of 47.83 and 47.62 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at 47.46 and for Euro it stood at 65.79 on September 16, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 61.81 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 74.9599. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
