Indian rupee, after making a weak start and recovering some of the lost ground, continues trading weak against dollar on Monday, tailing subdued local equity markets after contracting industrial output and an investment slowdown dragged India's economic growth to a worse-than-expected 4.7 percent in the three months to December. Additionally, global risk aversion on geo-political tensions in Ukraine too was weighing on most of Asian currencies, including rupee. On the global front, Japanese yen rose across the board on Monday while investors sold risk currencies such as the Australian dollar as Ukraine mobilised for war after Russia's President Vladimir Putin declared he had the right to invade the neighboring country.
The partially convertible currency is currently trading at 61.87, weaker by 7 paise from its previous close of 61.80 on Friday. The currency touched a high and low of 61.94 and 61.84 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 62.07 and for Euro stood at 85.02 on February 28, 2014. While, the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 60.99, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 103.6106. The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
