Indian rupee, snapping five consecutive sessions’ appreciating streak, was trading weak on Wednesday, tailing the slide of local equities amidst persistent dollar demand from importers. Nevertheless, Indian currency has managed to trim some of its losses after November imports fell to the lowest since March 2011, with trade deficit narrowed to $ 9.22 billion in November from $ 17.2 billion a year ago. In a positive sign, Gold and silver imports declined sharply to $1 billion in November from $5.4 billion a year ago. Nevertheless, prevailing caution ahead of October IIP and November CPI data tomorrow, kept the mood somber for Indian currency. In the global markets, dollar wobbled near a six-week low against a basket of currencies on Wednesday hampered by a growing view that the Federal Reserve needs more positive economic data before it decides to start reducing its monetary stimulus.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.30, weaker by 26 paise from its previous close of 61.04 on Tuesday. The currency has touched a high and low of 61.41 and 61.22 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.20 and for Euro stood at 84.15 on December 10, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 59.29, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 100.6488. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
