Sharp recovery was seen in rupee value versus dollar in the open market on Friday, which picked up 25 paisa for buying at Rs 59.80 and 20 paisa for selling at Rs 59.90 on easy supply of the US currency, dealers said.
As a result of balanced demand and supply of dollars, the difference between the open market and interbank rates narrowed down to 6-8 paisa from 35-40 paisa, they said.
The rupee expanded its gains on significant improvement in the supply of dollars, mostly sent by overseas Pakistanis and partly because of fall in demand by importers after completion of major payments, money experts said.
In the meantime, they said, the rupee may show further fluctuation versus the greenback in the absence of importers' demand and selling of export proceeds.
They said that dollar buying by Haj pilgrims and slight improvement in the remittances kept a balance between demand and supply position.
In the world markets, the dollar was mostly soft versus major currencies as the US inflation data proved tamer than expected, lessening the chance of rate rises beyond January.
The rupee, however, gave up its overnight firmness versus euro, recovering five paisa on the buying side at Rs 70.55 and Rs 70.65.
The factor, which brought the single European currency out from the recent slide was rise in its value in the global markets.
INTER-BANK RATES: The rupee was stuck in a tight range amid strong demand and supply position but somehow held its present level against the greenback at Rs 59.82 and Rs 59.84, dealers said.
