THE RUPEE: dollar rise continues

11 Apr, 2010

Downward trend was seen on the local currency market on Saturday as the number increased for dollar purchasing, money, experts said. On the interbank market the rupee was down three paisa at 84.04 against dollar for buying and it shed one paisa for selling at 84.07, they said.
The rupee may move both ways versus dollar in the coming days, they added. At the weekend euro rose after an EU source said euro zone leaders had agreed to terms of a possible emergency loan aimed at helping Greece manage a worsening debt crisis. The news allowed traders to shrug off a downgrade by Fitch of Greece's credit rating by two notches, to one grade above junk status. Fitch Ratings cited Athens' fiscal challenges and uncertainty about how a European Union-International Monetary Fund aid program agreed last month would be applied.
