Rupee snaps three consecutive sessions’ appreciating streak despite dollar weakness overseas

07 Oct 2013 Evaluate

Indian rupee, snapping three-day winning streak, ended weak against dollar on Monday, weighed down by the concerns of foreign investors reducing its purchases of the nation’s stocks, as U.S. lawmakers remain deadlocked over extending the debt ceiling which contributed to the negative milieu for the currency. Indian currency also depreciated, hurt by broad-based dollar buying from importers and banks coupled with subdued trend of local equities ahead of the Q2 earning season. On the global front, dollar dropped against the yen and the Swiss franc on Monday as little progress in Washington over the U.S. budget standoff, kept the greenback stuck close to 8-month lows against a basket of major currencies.

In a related development for the currency market, Reserve Bank of India reduced the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate by 50 basis points from 9.50% to 9% and decided to provide additional liquidity through term repos of 7-day and 14-day tenor for a notified amount equivalent to 0.25 per cent of net demand and time liabilities (NDTL) of the banking system through variable rate auctions on every Friday beginning October 11, 2013.

Finally the Rupee ended at 61.79, weaker by 35 paise from its previous close of 61.44 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 62.00 and 61.52 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.77 and for Euro it stood at 83.83 on October 7, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 63.62, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 99.0640. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
