Indian rupee after completing its first weekly advance since October in the previous session, drifted lower on Monday tracking subdued local equities, which edged lower ahead of EU summit this week. Fresh demand for the American currency from banks and corporate’s on the back of a higher dollar in overseas markets, also dented the sentiment for Indian currency. However, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) vows to check rupee slide also failed to prop up the sentiment. On the global front, euro rose on Monday after Italy unveiled austerity measures and on hopes that European Union leaders will come up with a credible plan to tackle the euro zone debt crisis at a summit later this week.
Finally the rupee ended at 51.42, weaker by 21 paise from its previous close of 51.21 on Friday. It has touched a high and low of 51.46 and 51.23 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India's reference rate for the dollar stood at Rs 51.39 and for Euro it stood at 68.92 on December 5, 2011. While, the RBI's reference rate for the Yen stood at 65.91 and the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 80.2031. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
