THE RUPEE: dollar moves both ways

07 Dec, 2010

The rupee moved both ways on the currency market on Monday in process of trading, dealers said. The rupee recovered five paisa against dollar for buying and selling at 85.80 and at 85.85, they said. In the first Asian trade dollar recouped some ground lost from a renewed focus on US quantitative easing, and was helped by short covering, while euro fell back towards channel support ahead of a meeting of European finance ministers.
China's yuan ended up against dollar on Monday after the People's Bank of China set a higher mid-point in the wake of US dollar weakness.
Dealers said they expected yuan to move in a small range in coming days but could appreciate three to five percent next year after the Communist Party decided that China would shift to a prudent monetary policy from a moderately loose stance.
