Minor change was seen in the rupee-dollar parity on the local currency market on Thursday, dealers said. On the interbank market the rupee was unchanged against dollar for buying at 85.65 while it gained three paisa at 85.67for selling, marketmen said.
Balanced demand and supply position did not allow the rupee to move sharply against the greenback, they said. In the fourth Asian trade dollar steadied after it enjoyed a rare rally the previous day when US data beat expectations and sparked a bout of short-covering, although the overall mood remains bearish ahead of a key payrolls report.
Against yen dollar was down 0.1 percent on the day at 86.19 yen, having bounced from an eight-month low of 85.32 yen hit on Wednesday. Traders said the greenback's ability to hold above psychologically and technically key 85 yen level lightened the risk of dollar/yen dropping to a 15-year low below the November trough at 84.82 yen, at least until the monthly US jobs data, which is seen setting the dollar's near-term direction.
