Firmness prevailed on the currency market on Friday as the rupee maintained it's recovery against the dollar due to easy supply of the US currency, dealers said. On the interbank market the rupee managed to rise five paisa versus dollar for buying and selling at 83.40 and 83.45, they added.
The interbank and open market rates were almost unchanged due to easy supply of the greenback, they said. Amid fourth Asian trade dollar was on slippery ground after the Australian dollar jumped to a 15-month high on strong jobs data that boosted expectations of an interest rate hike next month. In Asian final session dollar clung to gains after another sporadic bout of profit-taking in riskier trades that has characterised the currency's eight-month bear trend. But traders said dollar short covering, prompted by softer equities and a fall in oil, had slowed in Asian time, and the US currency's broad weakness was likely to continue over the longer term.
