Falling trend continued on the currency market on Monday as the rupee fell against both US dollar and euro, dealers said. In the interbank market, the rupee shed 10 paisa against dollar for buying at 78.20 and it lost five paisa for selling at 78.25, they said.
According to some dealers the rupee touched the low level at 78.35 due to short supply of dollars. In the first Asian trading dollar fell against yen and euro as investors awaited details of a planned $700 billion US bailout of bad mortgage debt, showing some scepticism about whether it can solve the worst credit crisis since the Great Depression.
The Bush administration sent the rescue package to Congress seeking authority to tackle the credit crisis, saying the bailout is needed to shield the US economy. In the proposed package, the US government could acquire up to $700 billion of home and commercial mortgages and related assets from US banks, after curbing short selling and guaranteeing mutual funds in an effort to stabilise financial markets.
OPEN MARKET RATES: The rupee was down by 20 paisa in terms of dollar for buying and selling at 78.10 and 78.50, dealers said. The rupee lost Re.1 against euro for buying and selling at 112.85 and Rs 113, they added.
