The rupee showed no change against the dollar on the money market on Saturday in the process of trading, they said. The rupee, somehow, managed to hold overnight levels against the dollar for buying and selling at Rs 103.50 and Rs 103.70, they said, adding it gained slightly by 10-paisa against the euro for buying and selling at Rs 113.40 and Rs 114.40 respectively, they added.
OPEN MARKET RATES: At the week-end, the dollar was mixed with month-end selling after a recent rally, as traders saw little in weak first-quarter US gross domestic product data to discourage bets the Federal Reserve will start raising interest rates in 2015.
The dollar index traded tightly and was last off 0.10 percent but remained on track for a rise for May. That would extend a string begun last July of nearly uninterrupted monthly gains for the index of six major currencies traded against the greenback.
