Tracking local equity markets’ weakness, Indian rupee depreciated against American currency erasing earlier session’s gains on the back increasing dollar demand from importers to meet month-end needs. Moreover, investor’s sentiments were dampened with the global risk-off mood, which also affected domestic currency to an extent. Meanwhile, euro and yen weakness against the dollar overseas also pressurized local unit.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 54.85, weaker by 29 paise from its previous close of 54.56 on Wednesday. The currency has touched a high and low of 54.90 and 54.60 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 54.74 and for Euro it stood at Rs 72.48 on December 19, 2012. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 64.92, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 89.0180. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
