The rupee maintained its surge against dollar on the interbank market on Friday, gaining 10 paisa for buying at 84.80 and rose by nine paisa at 84.85 for selling, they said. The rupee strengthened on easy supply of dollar and it looks that the local currency may resist sharp fall versus the US currency in the coming days, they said.
In the final session in Asia, euro softened across the board on Friday, weighed by disappointment among investors over lack of detail from the European Union on helping debt-laden Greece. Commodity-linked currencies such as the Australian dollar remained buoyant but trimmed some gains made following Chinese inflation numbers the previous day, which fuelled hopes China may not need to be too aggressive in near-term on tightening.
