Indian rupee depreciated against greenback on Friday, amid dollar strengthening compared to other currencies overseas. Increased demand for the dollar from banks and importers pressurized local unit to an extent. However, positive local equity markets capped some loses of domestic currency. Meanwhile, investors remained cautious, as union budget of this fiscal failed to fulfill their expectations. Euro’s weakness against US currency also affected rupee.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 54.53, weaker by 17 paise from its previous close of 54.36 on Thursday. The currency has touched a high and low of 54.67 and 54.50 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 53.77 and for Euro it stood at Rs 70.68 on February 28, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 58.24, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 81.5690. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
