Rupee slumps on strong demand to buy dollars at daily fix, weak yuan
Indian rupee weakened on Monday on the back of strong demand to buy dollars at the daily reference rate and as the Chinese yuan slipped amid worries about the country's economy and a global trade war.
The rupee declined 0.4% to 87.26 against the U.S. dollar as of 9:45 a.m. IST.
The reference rate, or the daily fix, was quoted at a 1/1.20 paisa premium, signalling strong dollar bids, a trader said.
Meanwhile, the dollar index ticked up to 103.8, recovering from a four-month low hit last week after data showed the U.S. economy created slightly fewer jobs than expected.
While worries about trade policy uncertainty and a slowdown in the U.S. economy have hurt the dollar, tepid risk sentiment has kept a lid on gains for Asian currencies.
