Range-bound trading seen in the inter-bank market on Thursday as the rupee-dollar parity moved slightly on comfortable supply of the greenback, dealers said. The rupee was available at 59.84 and 59.86 per dollar amid higher demand by the corporate sector, they added. They said the rupee resisted sharp decline since the State Bank has started dollar selling for oil import payments.
In fact, the dollar supply is not ease as exporters were on the sideline and on the other hand importers were buying dollars for oil payments, currency experts said, adding the country's oil imports are estimated at 400 million dollars in a month.
They also said the rupee might sustain its firmness as the SBP is still keeping stern check on speculative trade on the forex counter.
In the meantime, the euro maintained its surge versus the rupee, picking up 30 paisa more for buying and selling at Rs 78.30 and Rs 78.60 after expanding its ground versus the dollar in the world markets, dealers said.
In the international markets, the single European currency surged to a new all time high of 1.3191, it was the third straight day this week of record high as the dollar selling increased on concerns about the large US current account and budget deficits, currency analysts said.
