The rupee did not show major change on the interbank market on Wednesday for buying and selling at 83.30 and 83.35, dealers said. Balanced demand and supply did enabled the rupee to retain its value versus the US currency, they said.
In the third Asian trade dollar stabilised with the help of investors taking profits on rising commodity-linked and higher-yielding currencies, after it was pushed to a 14-month low against a basket of currencies the previous day.
Traders said investors had been cashing in gains in the Canadian and New Zealand dollars, which this month hit their strongest levels in about 15 months, and in sterling, pushing them down about 0.2 percent against the greenback. The move helped dollar climb further off a 14-month low against euro after the single European currency failed to breach a psychological barrier at $1.50 the previous day.
