Downward trend continued on the interbank market at the weekend as the rupee lost 15 paisa against dollar for buying at 78.45 and it also shed 10 paisa for selling at 78.50, currency experts added. The rupee was not able to come out of the bottom side due to tight supply of dollars and it may show slight weakness in the coming days, they said.
In the New York market, the US dollar rose versus euro as the approval of a $700 billion rescue package by Congress for the US financial sector left investors fretting that Europe might not have adequate measures to deal with the credit crisis. The euro saw its worst weekly percentage loss since its introduction in 1999, while dollar was on track for its best weekly gain versus major currencies in 16 years, according to Reuters data.
