Indian rupee has made a slightly weak start of the New Year; the currency has posted over 12 per cent fall in 2013, becoming Asia’s third worst performer with a third consecutive annual decline. Rupee is witnessing mild volatility in the early part of the trade and is likely to remain rangebound lacking any foreign cues owing to New Year holiday. There is some cautiousness as fiscal deficit in the April-November period reached 94% of the targeted budgetary estimate of Rs 5.42 lakh crore.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.89, weaker by 9 paise from its previous close of 61.80 on Tuesday. The currency touched a high and low of 61.92 and 61.82 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 61.89 and for Euro stood at 85.36 on December 31, 2013. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 58.97, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 102.0094. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
