THE RUPEE: dollar falls

20 Jul, 2011

The rupee managed to recover against dollar on the currency market on Tuesday as US currency supply eased in process of trading, dealers said.
In the second Asian trade euro held steady, taking a breather after its slide to a record low versus the Swiss franc the previous day, but is still vulnerable to fears that Europe's debt crisis could worsen.
The single currency stabilised versus dollar after having bounced off chart support near $1.4007 the previous day, and could extend that rebound given market talk of stop-loss bids near $1.4140.
But its outlook was clouded by heightened concerns that the debt crisis engulfing Greece may ensnare Italy and Spain as well.
Highlighting such worries, yields on both Italian and Spanish 10-year government bonds climbed above six percent on Monday, taking them closer to the seven percent level, beyond which funding costs are perceived to be unsustainable.
The yuan ended up against dollar on Tuesday, even after the People's Bank of China set a marginally lower mid-point, as the dollar index dropped in early European trade. Indian rupee was trading at Rs 44.57 versus dollar and Malaysian ringgit was available at 3.007 in terms of the greenback.
Bangladesh interbank buy/sell rates for taka against dollar on Tuesday: 74.52/74.59 (previous 74.52/74.53). Call Money Rates: 9.00-12.00 percent (previous 10.00-12.00 percent).
The rupee, however, lost 72 paisa in relation the euro for buying at Rs 121.72 and at Rs 122.22, they said.
