Falling trend was seen on the currency market on Friday due to strong demand for dollars, moneychangers said. On the interbank market the rupee dropped by 20 paisa in terms of dollar for buying at 81.20 and it also fell by 15 paisa for selling at 81.25, they added.
The demand for dollars was up as importers made forward buying to meet the payment requirements, they added. At the final session yen pared gains against euro and sterling as Tokyo shares bounced off earlier lows in a volatile session. The yen had risen earlier as Tokyo shares fell by more than 7 percent at one point, but trimmed its gains when the Nikkei recovered some ground to finish 3.6 percent lower.
