Indian rupee snapped three consecutive session’s winning streak to end weak against dollar on Monday on the back of dollar demand from oil importers and underlying caution ahead of a central bank’s monetary policy review that may hint about its stance after recent measures to curb the currency’s volatility. Meanwhile, rupee's losses on Monday were largely driven by weak stocks, which extended losses for a fourth day, and dollar outflows related to month-end demand from oil refiners. On the global front, dollar fell to a one-month low against the yen on Monday and a five-week trough against a basket of currencies on expectations that the Federal Reserve intends to keep interest rates low for some time.
Finally the rupee ended at 59.42, weaker by 38 paise from its previous close of 59.04 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 59.44 and 59.13 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 59.29 and for Euro it stood at Rs 78.71 on July 29, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 60.58, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 91.1810. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
