No major changes were seen on the money market on Tuesday as the rupee sustained its levels versus the dollar in the process of trading, dealers said. The rupee maintained overnight level against the dollar for buying and selling at Rs 105.90 and Rs 106.10 respectively, they said.
OPEN MARKET RATES: The rupee also managed to hold overnight levels against the euro for buying and selling at Rs 118.80 and 119.80 respectively, they said.The rupee shed two paisas in relation to the dollar for buying and selling at Rs 104.86 and Rs 104.88 respectively, dealers said.
INTER-BANK MARKET RATES: In the second Asian trade, the dollar hit a six-week low against the safe-ha en yen as caution mounted ahead of Britain's election, a European Central Bank meeting, and former FBI Director James Comey's testimony to a Senate committee-all of which are set for Thursday. The dollar was down 0.6 percent at 109.770 yen, its lowest since April 25.
Initially buoyed by an overnight bounce in US yields, it had briefly risen to 110.510 early in the session. The greenback has been firmly on the defensive since Friday's weaker-than-expected US non-farm payrolls report prompted investors to pare back expectations of future interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve.
Comey, the FBI director fired by US President Donald Trump in May, will be grilled by the Senate Intelligence Committee on whether Trump tried to get him to back off an investigation into alleged ties between the president's 2016 campaign and Russia. The dollar was available against the Indian rupee at Rs 64.333, the greenback was at 4.255 in terms of the Malaysian ringgit and the US currency was at 6.797 in terms of the Chinese yuan. Inter bank buy/sell rates for the taka against the dollar on Tuesday: 80.59-80.60 (previous 80.57-80.59).
