The dollar crossed the high mark at Rs 86 on the currency market on Tuesday due to rising demand for the greenback, dealers said. The rupee after maintaining a stable trend for a long time, fell sharply versus dollar, losing 17 paisa for buying at 86.01 and lost 18 paisa for selling at 86.06, they said.
The euro fell 0.6 percent on the day to $1.2797 after triggering stop-loss orders in the $1.2850-60 area, as a Wall Street Journal report stoked fears about the viability of European banks by highlighting the weakness of euro zone stress tests earlier in the year.
Indian rupee was trading at Rs 46.54 versus dollar, Malaysian ringgit was available at 3.1210 in relation to dollar and Chinese yuan was at 6.7880 in terms of the greenback.
