Indian rupee depreciated against dollar in the late morning trade on Wednesday on the back of month and year end demand for the American currency. Strengthening of the American currency against other overseas currencies also pressurized local unit to an extent. However, positive local equity market limited the domestic currencies’ losses. Meanwhile, oil prices were increased in Asian trade today as traders were worried over outcome of US budget talks on a deal to avert the fiscal cliff, which also weighted on currency markets.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 55.04, weaker by 8 paise from its previous close of 54.96 on Monday. The currency has touched a high and low of 55.09 and 54.95 respectively.
