THE RUPEE: dollar gains

21 Aug, 2010

Declining trend was seen on the currency market on Friday as a result of strong buying of dollars from different sides, dealers said. On the interbank market the rupee slid by three paisa at 85.65 against dollar for buying and it also shed four paisa at 85.70 for selling, money changers said.
In the final Asian trade dollar steadied against yen but stayed within reach of a 15-year trough hit last week, after weaker US data prompted investors to sell higher-yielding currencies and stocks on risk aversion. Indian rupee was trading at Rs 46.51 versus dollar, Malaysian ringgit was available at 3.1320 in terms of the US currency and Chinese yuan was trading at 6.7892 versus dollar.
