Indian rupee snapping two day’s winning streak, turned weaker on Monday in line with regional counterparts owing to fresh dollar demand from banks and importers amid firmness of the American currency overseas. 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, Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou's decision to cancel a visit to the United States to chair an emergency cabinet meeting at home and a regional election defeat for German Chancellor Angela Merkel also added to the gloom of the Indian currency.
Finally the rupee ended 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 47.79 and for Euro it stood at 65.3544 on September 19, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 62.18 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 75.0573. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
