Indian rupee once again resumed its southward journey against greenback on Wednesday, tracking weak regional share markets. Increasing dollar demand from domestic importers also pressurized the local unit. Investors are waiting for central bank intervention after it was seen coming to rupee rescue in the last session. Meanwhile, the government is reportedly gearing up to announce new measures to attract foreign inflows, including potentially raising debt via state-run companies and banks, which will help the rupee recovery.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.32, weaker by 55 paise from its previous close of 60.77 on Tuesday. The currency has touched a high and low of 61.44 and 61.11 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 61.53/54 and for Euro it stood at Rs 81.57/58 on August 6, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 62.49, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 92.3708. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
