Modest improvement was seen on the interbank market on Thursday as the rupee gained 20 paisa for buying at 79.85 and it also rose by 28 paisa for selling at 79.87 versus dollar in process of trading, dealers said. Easy supply of dollars provided an opportunity to the rupee to recover its lost ground versus the US currency, they added.
During the fourth session dollar trimmed gains after hitting a six-week high against yen and a three-month peak versus euro. But US efforts to tackle the housing crisis boosted the greenback's safe-haven appeal. The yen is coming under pressure due to worries about the Japanese economy - which suffered its deepest contraction in more than three decades in the latest quarter - and political uncertainty as voter support for Prime Minister Taro Aso sinks.
OPEN MARKET RATES: The rupee did not show any change against dollar for buying and selling at 79.70 and 80.00, respectively. The rupee made sharp gains in relation to euro, rising 40 paisa for buying at Rs 99.80 and it rose by Rs 1.40 for selling at Rs 101.80, they said.
