The rupee continued its fall against the dollar for the second day in the interbank market on Tuesday owing to improvement in the buying of the US currency while the national currency was inert in terms of the greenback on the open market, dealers said.
In the second Asian trade, the yen hit a three-month low against the dollar and a five-month trough versus the euro, pressured by expectations that the Bank of Japan will further loosen monetary conditions to help the export-reliant economy face a global slowdown.
Earlier, the dollar rose to as high as 80.02 yen on trading platform EBS, its highest level since early July. The greenback later trimmed its gains and last stood at 79.95 yen, steady from late US trade on Monday.
The dollar was trading against the Indian rupee at Rs 53.58.The greenback was available at 3.0500 in terms of the Malaysian ringgit and the US currency at 6.2479 in terms of yuan.
