The rates moved both ways on the currency market on Friday dollar moving up and euro going down, in process of trading, dealers said. The rupee lost 13 paisa against the dollar for buying at 85.65 and shed 12 paisa for selling at 85.70, they said. In the second quarter of the current fiscal year, the dollar purchasing by importers pushed the dollar demand up, marketmen said.
INTER-BANK MARKET RATES: In the final Asian trade euro fell to a fresh two-month low against a broadly recovering dollar as a relentless rise in euro zone countries' bond yields fanned worries over their debt financing. The Australian dollar tumbled after the Australian central bank quashed chances of an imminent rate hike while yen hit a seven-week low against the dollar, with fresh sabre-rattling by North Korea helping the US currency.
China's yuan closed down against dollar on Friday as traders reported banks and their clients built long positions in dollars to bet on a continued near-term rise in the dollar in global markets.
The weakening came after the People's Bank of China (PBOC) fixed yuan's mid-point slightly stronger in a sign that the central bank hopes to keep the currency stable despite the dollar's strength -- a stance likely to set a floor for the yuan's fall. The Indian rupee weakened tracking losses in other Asian peers and the local stock market, with bunched up dollars outflows, a day after the US Thanksgiving holiday, also weighing.
By 11 am (0530 GMT), the partially convertible rupee was at 45.68-69 per dollar, 0.4 percent weaker than 45.5150-5250 at close on Thursday. Malaysian ringgit was trading at 3.133 versus dollar.
OPEN MARKET RATES: The rupee continued its decline versus dollar, shedding 10 paisa for buying and selling at 85.40 and Rs 85.55, they said. The rupee, however, managed to gain against euro, picking up 62 paisa for buying and selling at Rs 112.50 and Rs 113.00, they added.
