Rupee hits new record low of 52.77 per dollar

MUMBAI: The rupee slid to a record low of 52.77 on Monday as signs of a sharp slowdown in Asia's third-largest economy prompted investors to buy dollars.

Traders said possible buying by local oil importers, the biggest buyers of dollars in the local forex market, also pressured the currency.

At 4:53 pm , the partially convertible rupee was at 52.76 per dollar, after closing at 52.03/04 on Friday.
