THE RUPEE: minor changes

31 Aug, 2010

Minor changes were seen on the currency market on Monday as dollars' easy supply did not allow the rupee to move sharply versus the US currency, dealers said.
In the first Asian trade Indian rupee climbed as a rise in domestic shares fuelled expectations for more foreign fund inflows, but dollar's gains versus majors kept a lid on the gains.
At 10:50 am (0520 GMT), the partially convertible rupee was at 46.82/83 per dollar, 0.1 percent stronger from Friday's close of 46.89/90. Interbank buy/sell rates for taka against dollar on Monday: 69.58/69.59 (previous 69.57/69.5780). Call Money Rates: 4.50-5.75 percent (previous 4.00-5.75 percent).
The rupee retained its overnight levels against euro for buying and selling at Rs 108.00 and Rs 108.50, they added.
