The rupee maintained its overnight firmness against dollar in the interbank market on Friday, rising by 35 paisa for buying and selling at 76.55 and 76.60 in process of trading, dealers said. Expectations for inflows in huge amount of foreign exchange sent by the overseas Pakistanis helped the rupee halt its erosion, money experts said.
It is likely the rupee might be able to retain its stable trend versus dollar and euro, they added. In the final Asian trading euro fell to its lowest level in a year against dollar while yen shot up as the market digested a downgrade in the eurozone's growth forecasts, dealers said.
The European Central Bank (ECB) on Thursday cut its growth forecast for the year to 1.4 percent from 1.8 percent. The 15-member eurozone in the second quarter suffered its first contraction since the bloc's creation in 1999. The revision also had effects on yen as panicked dealers sold off dollar for the Japanese currency, which is low-yielding and often used to stock up for investment later elsewhere.
