USDINR MARKET UDPATE - Rupee fell to its lowest in nearly a month hurt by weaker local shares and a slump in the euro following weak economic growth data. The weakness in the stock markets ahead of the budget has raised concerns about future capital inflows, which has been crucial to the rupee's fortunes, making it one of Asia's top winners in 2013 so far. That has been reflected in the rupee's performance which fell 1.3 percent this week, its biggest weekly loss in three months. India's foreign exchange reserves were at $294.54 billion as of February 8, compared with $295.16 billion in the previous week, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said. Changes in foreign currency assets, expressed in dollar terms, include the effect of appreciation or depreciation of other currencies held in its reserves, the RBI said in its weekly statistical supplement.
