Rupee turns weak tailing decline in equity

31 Oct 2011 Evaluate

Indian rupee after logging its biggest single session gain in nearly 11-months on Friday has now turned weak on Monday tracing negative local equities and weaker regional counterparts. The Indian currency’s gains got tampered after the dollar spiked to a three-month high against the yen on Monday post Japan intervened in the currency markets for the third time this year to stem the yen's rise. Finance Minister Jun Azumi confirmed that Japan intervened unilaterally, though he declined to comment on the size of the intervention. He added that the yen's strength threatens to derail the economy's recovery from the March earthquake.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 48.84, weaker by 9 paise from its previous close of 48.75/76 on Friday. It has touched a high and low of 48.90 and 48.77 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at 48.82 and for Euro it stood at 69.28 on October 28, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 64.36 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 78.5676. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
