Pressure of buying dollars pushed the rupee down on the currency market on Saturday, dealers said. On the interbank market, the rupee lost 8 paisa against dollar for buying and selling at 83.23 and 83.28, respectively, they said.
Money market analysts said that the rupee may not be able to stand up against the US currency due to high demand for dollars. In New York, the dollar fell against most major currencies after a weaker-than-expected jobs report and reinforced expectations that US interest rates will stay near zero for some time.
The US employers cut 263,000 jobs in September, far more than expected, while the unemployment rate rose to 9.8 percent. The data raised fears that the weak labour market could impede the economy's recovery from its worst recession in 70 years.
OPEN MARKET RATES: The rupee lost 5 paisa against dollar for buying and selling at 83.00 and 83.10, respectively, dealers said. The rupee also lost 25 paisa versus euro for buying and selling at Rs 120.30 and Rs 120.80, they said.
