Firm trend was seen on the interbank market on Monday as the rupee inched up versus the dollar, rising five paisa for buying at 78.95 while it did not show any change for selling at 79.05, dealers said. Balanced demand and supply of the US currency helped the rupee to retain its weekend levels, analysts said.
During the first session of the week, dollar climbed, moving back near a 23-year high against sterling and a six-week high versus euro as fears about the global recession and banking sector problems pushed investors away from risk.
