The rupee managed to gain versus dollar on the currency market on Monday in process of trading, dealers said.
In the first Asian trade euro and dollar both plumbed record lows against the Swiss franc on Monday, with European bank stress tests shrugged off as not tough enough and fear ruling over debt problems plaguing the European Union and United States.
The franc has been the G10 currency of choice for investors and traders seeking relative safety and liquidity from concerns that the euro zone's sovereign debt crisis could become a solvency crisis, with Italian and Spanish bond yield spreads over German Bunds widening beyond 300 basis points.
The yuan ended slightly lower versus dollar after the People's Bank of China set a weaker mid-point, in line with a strong dollar as investors fretted about the euro debt crisis.
Indian rupee was trading at Rs 44.51 versus dollar and Malaysian ringgit was available at 3.0115 in terms of the US currency.
While, the rupee managed to gain 44 paisa against euro for buying at Rs 121.00 and at Rs 121.50, they said.
