Extended demand for dollars kept the rupee under pressure on the local currency market on Monday, experts said. The rupee shed 14 paisa against dollar for buying at 86.09 and 13 paisa for selling at 86.12, they said.
Investors have been selling euro and buying back dollar to minimise risk as the market grows increasingly concerned about the financial system in Europe after shares of two top Italian banks plunged amid concerns about their capital positions.
"The euro is exposed to more selling pressure as the market is starting to factor-in systemic risk to the euro zone," said Daisuke Karakama, market economist at Mizuho Corporate Bank.
The yuan ended down against dollar as the People's Bank of China set a slightly weaker mid-point following a rise in the dollar index. Interbank buy/sell rates for taka against dollar on Monday: 74.08/74.10 (previous 74.10/74.10). Call Money Rates: 6.00-12.00 percent (previous 9.00-12.00 percent).
