08 Nov 2012 Evaluate

Indian rupee snapping two sessions appreciating streak, concluded weaker on account of global risk-off sentiment due to worries over looming ‘fiscal cliff’ debate and Europe’s economic troubles, which returned to the fore-front, a day after the re-election of US President Barack Obama. Strengthening of the American currency, domestically weak equities along with feeble regional counterparts, all worked against Indian currency. On the global front, euro fell to a two-month low against the dollar on fresh speculation that Spain is not in a hurry to request financial aid.

Finally the rupee ended at 54.37, weaker by 17 paise from its previous close of 54.20 on Wednesday. The currency touched a high and low of 54.66 and 54.34 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 54.44 and for Euro it stood at Rs 69.47 on November 8, 2012. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 68.12 the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 87.0010. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
