Steady trend was seen on the money market on Wednesday as the rupee maintained its levels versus dollar, dealers said. The rupee held the overnight levels in relation to dollar on the interbank market for buying and selling at 84.90 and 84.95, they said.
During the third Asian trade higher yielders such as Australian dollar gave back small gains on yen and dollar as caution set in before an EU assessment of Greece's fiscal plan on Wednesday and key US jobs data at the end of the week.
Short-term speculators had earlier picked up bargains in beaten-down growth-linked currencies such as the Aussie following strong US earnings and improved housing data, which helped lift appetite for slightly riskier assets, market players said.
OPEN MARKET RATES: The rupee managed to retain its level versus the greenback for buying and selling at 86.10 and 86.20, dealers said.
The rupee, however, lost 55 paisa in terms of euro for buying and selling at Rs 119.55 and Rs 120.05, they added.
