Minor changes were seen on the money market on Wednesday as supply of dollars was matching with the demand, money experts said.
INTER-BANK MARKET RATES: The rupee inched up with a rise of one paisa against dollar for buying at 85.87 and gained two paisa for selling at 85.91 in process of higher demand for the US currency but supply was enough to meet the demand, they said.
In the third Asian trade euro rose to a three-week peak against dollar, boosted by hopes for an agreement on Greek austerity steps and progress toward an aid package for the debt-hobbled nation, but the currency has approached chart resistance that may cap its near-term gains.
The euro nudged higher in early Asian trade after Greek newspaper Kathimerini said in its online edition that details of the Greek government's mid-term fiscal plan were expected to be finalised by Wednesday night or Thursday morning, traders said.
The common currency rose as high as $1.4438 on trading platform EBS, its highest since early May, adding to gains on Tuesday, but failed to decisively breach immediate resistance at the top of the Ichimoku cloud on the daily chart at $1.4442.
The yuan ended up slightly against dollar on Wednesday after the People's Bank of China set a new peak for the mid-point, for the fifth successive day, but dealers expect it to pull back soon. Indian rupee was available at Rs 45.06 versus dollar and Malaysian ringgit was trading at 3.0070 in terms of the US currency.
OPEN MARKET RATES: The rupee did not show any change in relation to the dollar for buying and selling at 86.10 and 86.30, they added.
Meanwhile the rupee managed to recover in relation to euro, rising 32 paisa for buying and selling at Rs 123.49 and Rs 123.99, they said.
