INTER-BANK MARKET RATES: In the final Asian trade, the dollar slipped versus the yen, hampered by renewed investor concerns over the Trump administration's ability to push forward its economic policy agenda.
The dollar fell 0.2 percent to 109.33 yen, pulling further away from this week's high of 110.95 yen that had been set on Wednesday.
The yen often comes into favour in times of market stress, partly due to the notion that Japanese investors might eventually repatriate their overseas assets if such market turmoil persists.
The dollar was trading against the Indian rupee at Rs 64.108, the US currency was trading against the Malaysian ringgit at 4.295 and the greenback was at 6.677 in relation to the Chinese yuan.
OPEN MARKET RATES: The rupee was unchanged in relation to the dollar for buying and selling at Rs 106.50 and Rs 106.70 respectively, they said.
The rupee, however, failed to retain overnight levels in terms of the euro, losing 25 paisas for buying and selling at Rs 124.00 and Rs 125.50 respectively, they said.
