Rising trend was witnessed on the local currency market on Tuesday as the rupee recovered modestly against dollar, dealers said. The rupee maintained its climb versus dollar, gaining 12 paisa for buying and selling at 85.92 and 85.96, they said. In the second Asian trade dollar gingerly tested firmer ground after a bout of choppiness and players did not rule out an eventual 1.5 cent retreat by euro if some long positions grew stale and unwound ahead of expected US easing.
Spot yuan pulled back from its recent high versus dollar for the second day, as the People's Bank of China fixed a weaker mid-point to allow the yuan to take a breather after recent gains.
Interbank buy/sell rates for taka against the dollar on Tuesday : 70.38/70.45 (previous 70.25/70.40) Call Money Rates: 4.50-6.25 percent (previous 4.50-6.50 percent.
Indian rupee weakened after a steady start as strong dollar demand from importers, weak Asian currencies and choppy local shares outweighed support from foreign fund inflows, mainly towards Coal India share sale.
The issue is expected to draw billions of dollars in overseas demand that could add to upward pressure on the rupee. But, dealers expect the rupee to be boxed in 44.35-44.65 per dollar band on persistent importer dollar demand.
