Indian rupee tracking the declining trajectory of local shares weakened on Friday, mirroring bearish mood across the globe after continued discord between European leaders on a suitable solution to the region's debt crisis and a credit rating downgrade in Hungary dampened sentiment. Also, government's decision to throw open its $450 billion retail market to global supermarket giants on Thursday did not provide immediate comfort to the currency since actual investment inflows were not expected to happen anytime soon. Meanwhile, appreciation of the American currency against the euro and other rivals overseas also hindered the momentum of Indian currency. On the global front, euro dipping to a fresh seven-week low, struggled to find any traction amid investor jitters over the European debt crisis.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 52.15, weaker by 7 paise from its previous close of 52.08 on Thursday. It has touched a high and low of 52.23 and 52.06 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 52.25 and for Euro it stood at 69.82 on November 24, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 67.75 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 81.2279. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
