Slight recovery was seen in the value of the rupee against dollar on the currency market on Friday, experts said. The rupee gained nine paisa in relation to dollar for buying at 85.28 and picked up 10 paisa for selling at 85.32, they said. In the final session of Asia trade yen fell broadly and slumped to a two-week low against dollar after a major earthquake struck Japan and triggered a slide in Japanese shares.
The euro rose 0.1 percent against dollar to $1.3815, stabilising after steep falls in the previous session but it remained vulnerable to a sell-off if a euro zone summit later in the day fails to ease concerns about sovereign debt.
Indian rupee was trading at Rs 45.18 versus dollar, Malaysian ringgit was available at 3.0355 in relation to the US dollar and Chinese yuan was at 6.5731 in terms of the greenback.
