Despite a positive start, Indian rupee depreciated marginally against dollar in the late morning session on Friday. Dollar strength against other Asian currencies after an unexpectedly big slide in US jobless claims, also weighed down on the domestic unit. Weakness in local equity markets and increasing month end dollar demand from importers also pressurizes rupee to some extent. Meanwhile, investors remained on the side-lines ahead of the Reserve Bank of India’s monetary policy meet next week.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 54.24, weaker by 3 paise from its previous close of 54.21 on Thursday. The currency has touched a high and low of 54.26 and 54.15 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 54.17 and for Euro it stood at Rs 70.62 on April 25, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 54.64, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 82.9853. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
