Indian rupee on Tuesday hit a fresh bottom below Rs 100 level against the British pound, even as the markets remain focussed on the Indian currency hitting a record low of sub Rs 64-level against the US dollar. The rupee hit a new low of Rs 100.35 against the British pound (GBP) early in the morning, as weak domestic fundamentals, including ballooning current account deficit weighed down on the Indian currency. After a modest recovery from its bottom, rupee was seen trading at Rs 99.7 against the British pound by mid-day trade. The rupee has depreciated by about 25 per cent

in the past three months, from close to Rs 83 in midMay, while it was even higher at about Rs 80 against the British Pound in March. At close to Rs 100 level, the British pound is the most expensive against the Indian rupee among major foreign currencies across the world, followed by euro (Rs 85), Swiss

franc (Rs 69), US dollar (Rs 63.7), Canadian dollar (Rs 61.5), Australian dollar (Rs 57.8), New Zealand dollar (Rs 50.9) and Singapore dollar (Rs 49.8). Against the US dollar too, the rupee hit a fresh low below Rs 64-level and slipped to as low as Rs 64.11 before marginally recovering to Rs 63.72 by mid-day in the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market. The rupee had recorded the decade's worst single-day fall of 148 paise to close at record low of 63.13 on Monday, while it dropped further by about 98 paise on Tuesday morning. Continued on page 26
