The rupee maintained overnight levels against the dollar on the money market on Saturday in process of trading, dealers said. The rupee, somehow, resisted further decline versus the dollar for buying and selling at Rs 106.50 and Rs 106.70, they said.
In the final New York trade, the US dollar tumbled on a report that North Korea is preparing to test a long-range missile, overturning earlier gains after the government's jobs report for September showed an unexpected rise in wages.
RIA news agency cited a Russian lawmaker's making comments on the missile test, which North Korea believes can reach the US West Coast.
The dollar earlier rose to a more than two-month high against the yen and seven-week high against the euro as wage data from the September labor market report was seen as a sign of potentially improving inflation.
