Rupee continues southward journey against greenback

01 Aug 2013 Evaluate

Indian rupee continued its southward journey against greenback on Thursday, weighed down by the US dollar's gains against other Asian currencies. Increased demand for the American currency from importers also pressurized the local unit. Currency market was unable to recover even after Finance Minister P. Chidambaram’s statement that the Government was considering options, including bringing in more foreign inflows, to narrow a record high current account deficit which has been a key factor for the rupee's weakness.  Meanwhile, RBI is reported to have sold dollars via state-run banks in order to restrict the further fall in rupee.

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 60.71, weaker by 31 paise from its previous close of 60.40 on Wednesday. The currency has touched a high and low of 60.84 and 60.48 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 61.11 and for Euro it stood at Rs 80.95 on July 31, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 62.44, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 92.9742. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
