The rupee commenced the new fiscal year 2012-13 on a firm note against dollar in the interbank market on Tuesday, it, however fell slightly on the open market, dealers said. The national currency showed no change against dollar for buying and selling at 94.60 and 94.65, they said.
In the second day of Asian trade euro and US dollar climbed off early lows but remained under pressure after dismal factory data from Europe to the United States raised expectations for more action from central banks in both regions.
Investors' hopes for the European Union's plan to support debt-laden countries turned to scepticism, which was further fanned by Monday's report showing US manufacturing activity contracted for the first time in nearly three years.
In the euro zone the jobless rate rose to a record high in May, and a measure of factory activity held steady at its lowest level since June 2009, lending credence to those who believe the European Central Bank will cut interest rates at its policy meeting on Thursday.
