The rupee moved slightly versus the dollar in the interbank market on Thursday for buying and selling at 60.60 and 60.61, respectively. Generally, the trend in the market is bullish due to strong supply of dollars.
The rupee strengthened on good supply of dollars by the overseas Pakistanis, who send dollars to make Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations, money experts said. In the world markets, the dollar steadied against the yen, underpinned by US economic data that reinforced expectations the Federal Reserve would not lower interest rates soon.
Although Wednesday's data was mixed, with new building permits falling to near a five-year low, the dollar found some support from an unexpected rebound in housing starts in September, traders said.
"US data has been pointing toward a soft landing. Expectations for an interest rate cut have been declining significantly," said a trader at a major Japanese bank.
OPEN MARKET RATES: The rupee shed two paisa versus the dollar for buying at 60.52, it however, gained three paisa for selling at 60.57, dealers said. The rupee depreciated by four paisa versus euro at Rs 75.72 and Rs 75.82 for buying and selling, respectively.
