Abstract
The last twelve months have seen the Indian Rupee (INR) soaring to new highs against the Dollar (USD), and subsequently falling to new lows. This has been a key concern, with the INR rising notably from around INR 46.62/$ level in January 2010 to INR 52.26/$ currently. The dynamic linkage between exchange rate and stock prices is important from the viewpoint of recent large cross-boarder movement of funds. The present study focus on the effects of exchange rate fluctuation (Rs/$) on various segments of the Indian financial markets over the last 2 years during the global financial crisis. Using daily data from January 2010 to December 2011, it is found that there is no significant positive correlation between Rs/$ exchange rate and FIIs Net equity investment, BSE return and NSE return.
