Rupee slumps to its all time low of 62/$

16 Aug 2013 Evaluate

Indian rupee despite a positive opening, has once again extended fall against greenback after touching an all-time low of 62 versus the US dollar. Currency sentiments were dampened on concerns that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) measures to curb capital outflows will prove insufficient and on worries about a rollback of US monetary stimulus. Weak domestic equity markets and increasing dollar demand also pressurized the rupee. However, Finance Minister P Chidambaram reportedly said that there was no intention of bringing back capital controls. 'RBI's measures are not to be understood as capital control. The announcement preserves the right of a corporate to go to RBI and seek approval in case it wants to take out more than 100% of net worth. These are temporary measures and I am sure RBI will revisit them at an appropriate time,'

The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.84, weaker by 23 paise from its previous close of close at 61.44 on Wednesday. The currency has touched a high and low of 62.02 and 61.32 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 61.51 and for Euro it stood at 81.62 on August 14, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 62.56, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 94.98. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
