Mumbai May 11 Forex reserves have gone down $126 million to $204.009 billion for the week ended May 4 on weakening of non-dollar currencies against the dollar. Forex reserves had gone up by $254 million to $204.135 billion for the week ended April 27. Foreign currency assets decreased $377 million to $196.500 billion, said the RBI's Weekly Statistical Supplement. Foreign currency assets, as expressed in dollars, include the effect of appreciation or depreciation in non-US currencies (euro, sterling and yen) held in reserves. "Currencies like the euro weakened against the greenback which is reflected in the country's forex kitty," said a dealer at a private bank.
