The rupee-dollar parity rates moved both ways in the currency market on Monday, dealers said. In the interbank dealings, the rupee rose by 12 paisa against dollar for buying at 62.68 and by 10 paisa for selling at 62.72, they said.
In the final session, the dollar fell against the yen in NY trade as investors worried that the credit crisis, that has fractured the US financial sector, was far from over, pushing stocks lower.
The drop in US shares and concerns, that the credit crunch would make the funding of current account deficits difficult, took some edge off the British pound and New Zealand and Australian dollars.
